winetricks does not reset service pack number correctly

[Fabian Köster]

I just noticed that, when testing Lexware[1] with wine, that winetricks does 
not seem to reset the windows version correctly (or at least the Service Pack 
Number).

On a fresh wine-installation I executed:

winetricks msxml3 jet40 mdac28 dotnet20

When I now start the Lexware-Installer it says that "SP4" is installed (so it 
seems to be the setting for Windows 2000), but winecfg shows "Windows XP".

When I run 

winetricks winxp

afterwards, the installer correctly displays "SP2".

Tested winetricks 20090227 with wine 1.1.16

Fabian

Citing http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks:

"Winetricks has a bug tracking system at 
http://code.google.com/p/winezeug/issues/list though sending email to wine-
devel at winehq.org is usually good enough."

I would be glad if I could avoid creating a google account.

Email to wine-users would probably be appropriate - Dan Kegel reads
that list too, and winetricks is a frequent solution to user problems
(just what it's for) so is usually on-topic.
