Bug #: 34205 Summary: Regedit doesn't import .reg files formatted like the example in the FAQ Product: Wine Version: 1.6 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jluth@mail.com Classification: Unclassified
Much of the documentation on the web, including the Wine FAQ, reports the syntax of a .reg file as:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides] "winemenubuilder.exe"=""
example from http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ section 5.4
Note specifically that this is all on one line. This does not work in Wine 1.6. It DOES work if the "key" is on one line, and the name/value pair is on another line.
Other examples show multiple name/value pairs behind the key - still all on one line.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.pdf] @="PDFfile" "Content Type"="application/pdf" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PDFfile\Shell\Open\command] @="winebrowser "%1""
example from http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ section 7.4
Currently, each name/value pair needs to be on a separate line.
