I have an existing win2k partition with an baldurs gate 2 installation and would like to play that on linux using wine. Wine works fine so far. But when I start the Game, its splash screen looks fine, it starts properly, but I always get prompted by the game to install it. I installed it moths ago in Windows and since then I played a lot! It makes no sense to install it again...
I strongly suspect missing registry keys within the wine registry files (otherwise the game would "know" it's already installed)
Is there an easy way to just copy the contents of the windows registry into wine's reg files?
I use Gentoo Linux and did just "emerge wine" which installs wine just fine. I left all the configuration to default settings, as I plan not to let wine use the windows installation. Except once for copying the registry.
Any ideas or did I miss something?
Unfortunately the import into Wine's reg-files does not work. When I start regedit in Linux (which is a shell script ), "wine regedit" is started and I end up with the regedit of Windows.
How do I import the exported reg-file??
