When doing a clean cvs install for a Mandrake 9.0 PC without windows, 
tools/install does not properly generate registry files.  I keep the source in 
/usr/src/wine.  The messages I get are: 
...(pruned for brevity)

Some fake Windows directories must be created, to hold any .ini files, DLLs, 
start menu entries, and other things your applications may need to install.

I saw a few people mention this problem and even a fix in the patches mailing 
list.  I could not find the fix in the patches mailing list.  It also looks as 
if these people thought it might be appropriate for a bug report.

I saw it too.

I was not quite clear there. I mean that I've experienced the problem myself.

After going through /usr/src/wine and verifying that there is no problem because 
of a cd command, /usr/src/wine/programs/regedit/regedit was checked to see there 
is something wrong with the launch of wine.   
 
Apparently a number of activities have taken place to make wine launchable from 
within the source directories. The following message suggests that launching 
from /usr/src/wine near the end of the script 
/usr/src/wine/programs/regedit/regedit is not being properly handled:   
 
        Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working          
directory /usr/src/wine; starting in windows directory. 
 
Is the intention to launch wine from /usr/src/wine without changing dierctory to 
the windows directory? 
 
Then this message appears: 
 
        /usr/src/wine/miscemu/wine: cannot find 'programs/regedit/regedit.exe.so' 
 
/usr/src/wine/programs/regedit/regedit.exe.so does indeed exist.  Is there a 
broken link that is missing here?

Increasing severity since registry install is not possible for the normal user 
right now.

This is in fact a configuration problem. You need to have /usr/lib/wine somewhere in 
your WINE drive 
list, or regedit.exe will not be found. Just assign Drive Z to / or similar.

I am pretty sure that this is not the right way setting drive Z to / is 
potentionaly dangerous. Also regedit(no extention) is installed to 
/usr/local/bin. In fact all the unix executables i.e, notepad, progman, 
winemine... are installed there too. So perhaps it would be better if  the 
following was in the default config. 
 
 
[Drive Z] 
"Path" = "/usr/local/bin" 
"Type" = "hd" 
"Filesystem" = "win95"

You should not have to list the bin directory in your drive config, and 
wineinstall should be able to run regedit in any case. This is a real bug, 
please reopen it.
