I have a windows partition (XP), with a few applications I'd like to run on it while in BSD: Microsoft Office XP (for the occasional doc that OO doesn't like) Corel Photopaint 9 or X3 Trillian (not needed but would be nice) and a few games. The games run fine, pretty much like in windows, but they have fewer directx errors and crashes :-) Office gets annoyed when I open winword.exe in wine, it says that office hasn't been installed for this user. I figured it was some registry goof, and I could probably fix it. My first attempt involved booting windows, saving the registry (.reg), then reopening it in notepad and saving it as ASCII as the default is unicode. I rebooted back into BSD, mounted the windows partition to /data/wine/drive_c and did: $ cat /data/wine/drive_c/registry_dump.reg | sed -e 's/\\/\\\\/g' > /data/wine/win_reg_dump.reg Next I moved all the default wine .reg files in it's base directory to the same file name, but prepended with "_", and moved /data/wine/wine_reg_dump.reg with system.reg When I ran wine, it recreated the defaults, and overwrote the system.reg file made from wine_reg_dump Anyone have a good way to fix this not involving crossover? Possibly an application that takes a windows registry save, ascii, and converts it to a wine registry file, and/or merges the two? I suspect this would fix the CorelDraw problem as well, it complains of a few missing registry keys.
