Then you can configure different version reported for a given exe file you run, if you need this change set permanently for some application. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

You'll have to relaunch anyway, but you can use "winecfg /v winxp" from command line already, to avoid going through UI.
Then you can configure different version reported for a given exe file you run, if you need this change set permanently for some application.
Thank you, I was able to figure out the options
Usage: winecfg [options]
Options: [no option] Launch the graphical version of this program. /v Display the current global Windows version. /v version Set global Windows version to 'version'. /? Display this information and exit.
Valid versions for 'version':
win11 Windows 11 win10 Windows 10 win81 Windows 8.1 win8 Windows 8 win2008r2 Windows 2008 R2 win7 Windows 7 win2008 Windows 2008 vista Windows Vista win2003 Windows 2003 winxp64 Windows XP 64 winxp Windows XP win2k Windows 2000 winme Windows ME win98 Windows 98 win95 Windows 95 nt40 Windows NT 4.0 nt351 Windows NT 3.51 win31 Windows 3.1 win30 Windows 3.0 win20 Windows 2.0
So I could launch an app with: winecfg /v winxp && wine my-old-program.exe -- 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.
