[Bug 37268] New: When importing from commandline, wine's regedit gives error "Warning! Unrecognized escape sequence"
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37268 Bug ID: 37268 Summary: When importing from commandline, wine's regedit gives error "Warning! Unrecognized escape sequence" Product: Wine Version: 1.7.26 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: seann.giffin(a)gmail.com I'm trying to get Adobe CS4 to work under wine 1.7.26 (compiled from GIT with MSI patch from bug #18070. I can get the installer to work, and it runs mostly, but some components don't install (like Photoshop). Unsure why. Figured I would just copy from a Windows install, and import registry settings saved from said Windows install (XP). Saved all the Adobe-related keys from Windows to a .REG file (about 4 MB) and attemptted to import, but wine regedit throws "unrecognized escape sequence" errors and the keys are not imported. And yes, I read bug #4495 and I believe this is a different issue. I can attach the .REG file in question if anybody wants to see it. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

I also created a clean prefix and did the same in WINE. I used the same Windows Utility to create the registry dumps from XP and WINE, and have zipped both files together (named accordingly) in this attachment. I have tried importing both and I get the same errors from both files: Warning! Unrecognized escape sequence: \P' regedit: warning: unrecognized line: '"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\d2f336b2c5feeb945c28b7a0a45170f\RegLoc\ar_AE\"=' The problem as I see it is that Windows has no problem with things like this: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Extended Properties\{305CA226-D286-468e-B848-2B2E8E697B74} 2\] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Server\bin\VersionCueCS4.cpl"=dword:00000003 But wine doesn't like single back-slashes. And if I convert each single instance of \ to \\ I mess up the registry key. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Aside from minor differences caused by the failure of certain apps to install on Wine, the keys in question are all the same on both WINE and XP. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37268 --- Comment #7 from Bruno Jesus <00cpxxx(a)gmail.com> --- Thank you. I don't really understand why windows exported the line twice, the second line is totally broken =) As you can see the regedit exported version has \\. If I change any of the \\ to \ windows will also ignore the line and so will wine. My current guess is that the software you used to export the registry has a bug. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37268 --- Comment #8 from Seann <seann.giffin(a)gmail.com> --- I know the second line is broken (which I was curious about), but I used Microsoft's own Regedit on the original XP install to do the export. Importing it back worked on Windows again with Microsoft's own REGEDIT.EXE but not on WINE with WINE's regedit. That's why I opened this ticket. I didn't use any third party applications when working with the regisrty entries. Strictly XP's out-of-the-box stuff, and the same with WINE. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

This program will correctly escape the value but not the name, so when imported in windows or wine the line gets ignored.

By "the program" I mean TBackupManager. -- 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.
