Anyway, as Anastasius Focht said this is only half of the required work. For a proper implementation we also need to add the corresponding keys to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

I think other 'dynamic' parts of registry have higher priority (perf data, trees managed by device manager, ...). The concept of 'virtual registry' introduced with newer Windows OS (registry redirection) is also used to cope with old applications that need hacks/workarounds for Win9X compat: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749368%28v=ws.10%29.aspx --- quote --- ... DYN_DATA Emulates the HKEY_DYN_DATA registry keys, which were used by the Windows 9x operating system to collect performance data. This fix redirects the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum key to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Enum key. This fix also adds the following virtual keys: HKEY_DYN_DATA\Config Manager\Enum with copied values from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI --- quote --- Probably implemented using userspace application shims and kernel side support. Maybe Wine could do this too .. in some years ;-) First the NT device manager (PnP) and its components would need to be implemented. With that infrastructure in place you would add shimming/redirection to make 'old-style' registry views available for legacy apps. That way one can avoid the need to implement some brain damaged Win9X components such as configuration manager (that OS is dead anyway). Realistically, the chance this gets implemented in near future is rather slim. The game installer probably does something stupid like this to figure out video adapter from registry: http://support.microsoft.com/KB/200876 You might be able to cheat the installer using a cheap shot. 1) use 'winecfg' to set prefix 'WinVer' to 'Windows 95' 2) start the installer but don't click 'next' yet 3) import the following registry snippet from a separate console (wine regedit fake_hkdd.reg) fake_hkdd.reg: --- snip --- REGEDIT4 [HKEY_DYN_DATA\Config Manager\Enum\fake] "HardwareKey"=dword:00000000 "Problem"=dword:00000000 --- snip --- The 'HardwareKey' type/value is actually wrong on purpose - it avoids the need to put more info under 'HKLM\Enum' ('Driver', 'DeviceDesc' ...). Installers and their stupid error handling ;-) The important part is 'Problem' key/value, it has to be '0'. 4) Now click 'next' and the installer runs to completion (after exit the HKEY_DYN_DATA part of registry will be gone again).
