Re: PROBLEM SOLVED : wine regedit - wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\regedit.exe": Bad EXE format for

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I found the cause of the problem, regedit.exe that is located in /home/yourlogin/.wine/drive_c/windows/ is a symbolic link and was pointing to /usr/lib/wine, which contained an old copy of regedit.exe.so, ie

regedit.exe -> /usr/lib/wine/regedit.exe.so

The current version of wine 0.9.20's regedit was actually in /usr/local/lib/wine/

So to correct the problem I did the following ...

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows
rm regedit.exe

Now if I type regedit in a terminal window it works fine. :)

So I guess the installation procedure (if you are using ./configure, make depend, make, make install) fails to remove these old symbolic links that were used in earlier versions of wine.

Thanks
Nick

I get the same error, i.e.

even if I just type regedit.

Hi,

The following command typed in a terminal window "wine regedit" worked ok in earlier versions.

I just tried typing it on two different systems running Wine V0.9.20 and I get the following
error.
"wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\regedit.exe": Bad EXE format for"


Kind regards,
