Description jluth 2013-08-05 04:20:09 UTC

Much of the documentation on the web, including the Wine FAQ, reports the syntax of a .reg file as:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides] "winemenubuilder.exe"="" 

example from http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ   section 5.4


Note specifically that this is all on one line.   This does not work in Wine 1.6.  It DOES work if the "key" is on one line, and the name/value pair is on another line.

Other examples show multiple name/value pairs behind the key - still all on one line.  

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf] @="PDFfile" "Content Type"="application/pdf"  
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PDFfile\Shell\Open\command] @="winebrowser \"%1\"" 

example from http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ   section 7.4

Currently, each name/value pair needs to be on a separate line.

Most likely related to bug 28578.

I've reformatted the .reg examples in the FAQ so they now work.

Comment 3 Alexandre Julliard 2014-01-17 13:58:54 UTC

Closing bugs fixed in 1.7.11.
