I am running a VC++ based application on Linux with the help of wine. Everything
works fine but i am not able to open its help file which is in pdf format.

I tried to trace the reason why pdf isnt being open. It is due to no association
found for pdf file in wine registry. I tried to associate the XPDF for pdf file
but i am not sure why its not working properly.I did following changes

Added following lines in /usr/local/share/wine/wine.inf and
/usr/share/wine/wine.inf and ran the wineprefixcreate.

Added these lines near classes in alpha betical order
HKCR,.pdf,,2,"pdffile"
HKCR,.pdf,"Content Type",2,"application/pdf"

and near the txtfile/open .....
HKCR,txtfile\shell\open\command,,2,"%11%\notepad.exe %1"
HKCR,txtfile\shell\print\command,,2,"%11%\notepad.exe /p %1"
HKCR,pdffile\shell\open\command,,2,"xpdf %1"

After running wineprefixcreate my system.reg was updated as following.

[Software\\Classes\\.pdf] 1171350687
@="pdffile"
"Content Type"="application/pdf"

[Software\\Classes\\pdffile\\shell\\open\\command] 1171350687
@="xpdf %1"

Can anyone suggest where i am doing the mistake?
