These symlinks should be removed too, they are no longer necessary.

As I remember the links in the first place were
created for apps which can try to load regedit and
other Wine apps using full path.
Do you think we don't need this?

In most cases we shouldn't need them, because Wine will now load them
properly even if a full path is specified. They would only be
necessary if an application explicitly tries to open the exe as a file
instead of calling CreateProcess on it. It probably doesn't hurt to
keep the regedit.exe one (the regedit.exe.so can be killed) but then
it must be made to point to $dlldir/regedit.exe.so.

I created a regedit.exe->/usr/local/bin/regedit.exe.so
but I still can't run it (runs without hyperlinks).
Now wine exits silently.
Can check this?

That should be /usr/local/lib/wine/regedit.exe.so instead.
