[Bug 12316] New: Environment Variable sections in Wine user guide is incorrect
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12316 Summary: Environment Variable sections in Wine user guide is incorrect Product: WineHQ.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other URL: http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr- guide/environment-variables OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: www-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: joe(a)neoturbine.net This bug is just for a documentation fix. http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/environment-variables says that strings under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment are used to modify certain environment variables. With wine 0.9.58 this does nothing. The correct location is documented at http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys and is HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session Manager/Environment Also, unlike what the first part of http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/environment-variables says, normal shell variables do not seem to appear in wine, i.e., $ export MYENVIRONMENTVAR=myenvironmentvarsetting $ wine cmd CMD Version 0.9.58 H:\>MYENVIRONMENTVAR File not found -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
