--- Comment #18 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2008-05-13 07:03:27 --- (In reply to comment #17) Thanks for the clarification. But if the entry is of string type, is there something like a string with no terminating 0? How could regedit produce such a value given a simple string input dialog window? (Does no \0 make sense for a string?)
In dlls/ntdll/reg.c:NtSetValueKey() I see the following comment: "win95 does not care about count for REG_SZ and finds out len by itself (js) NT does definitely care (aj)". Apparently, win95 would never store a non-\0-terminated string. What I will do is run FIFA2002 under various winecfg settings of w98/wme/w2k,wxp (which the application claims to support) and see if results differ -- and if I can get it to finally work.
