Unhappy Having trouble running regedit.exe under wine


I recently upgraded from Mandrake 9.1 to 9.2. Since then I have not been able to run regedit under wine. All I get is a dialog box asking "Are you sure you want to add the ingormation in to the registry?" If I choose no it exits. If I choose yes I get another dialog box which says "Cannot import : Error opening the file. There may be a disk of file system error." When I click ok on this box it exits. My config file is:

WINE REGISTRY Version 2
;; All keys relative to \\Machine\\Software\\Wine\\Wine\\Config

;; If you think it is necessary to show others your complete config for a
;; bug report, filter out empty lines and comments with
;; grep -v "^;" ~/.wine/config | grep '.'
;;
;; MS-DOS drives configuration
;;
;; Each section has the following format:
;; [Drive X]
;; "Path"="xxx" (Unix path for drive root)
;; "Type"="xxx" (supported types are 'floppy', 'hd', 'cdrom' and 'network')
;; "Label"="xxx" (drive label, at most 11 characters)
;; "Serial"="xxx" (serial number, 8 characters hexadecimal number)
;; "Filesystem"="xxx" (supported types are 'msdos'/'dos'/'fat', 'win95'/'vfat', 'unix')
;; This is the FS Wine is supposed to emulate on a certain
;; directory structure.
;; Recommended:
;; - "win95" for ext2fs, VFAT and FAT32
;; - "msdos" for FAT16 (ugly, upgrading to VFAT driver strongly recommended)
;; DON'T use "unix" unless you intend to port programs using Winelib !
;; "Device"="/dev/xx" (only if you want to allow raw device access)
;;
;; If wine was built with autofs patch, you can add a line
;; "Automount" = "1"
;; to sections with autofs_ed drives

Again regedit worked under 9.1 and all I did was upgrade to 9.2. Any ideas. Thanks

hi,

although i'm not using slackware i managed to get run regedit through wine with no problems.

looking at your config i noticed that the "Device"="/dev/xx" is missing.

hope this helps.

well i am not sure what your seeing naesyllek but the only reference to /dev/hxx in the config posted that i see is a commented line, which is irrelevant (obviously) ...
as of the issue at hand, i want to point out that you can edit the registry manually as its set up human readable in wine as quoted from the docs :
Quote:
In the user's home directory, there is a subdirectory named .wine, where Wine will try to save its registry by default. It saves into four files, which are:

system.reg

This file contains HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
user.reg

This file contains HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
userdef.reg

This file contains HKEY_USERS\.Default (i.e. the default user settings).
wine.userreg

Wine saves HKEY_USERS to this file (both current and default user), but does not load from it, unless userdef.reg is missing.

All of these files are human-readable text files, so unlike Windows, you can actually use an ordinary text editor on them if you must.

In addition to these files, Wine can also optionally load from global registry files residing in the same directory as the global wine.conf (i.e. /usr/local/etc if you compiled from source). These are:

wine.systemreg

Contains HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
wine.userreg

Contains HKEY_USERS.
also if you don't feel like editing manually, and because of the type of error your getting, the only thing i can suggest is to re-install wine fresh, and remove all configs and fake drives before continuing with the new installation...

Thanks, DrOzz that solved it. Now I just have to rebuild that part of the registry, but I can do that.
