Bug ID: 54844 Summary: Existing prefixes keep resetting to Win10 when wine is updated Product: Wine Version: 8.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: winehq20@melsplace.co.uk Distribution: ---

Created attachment 74346 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=74346 File browser differences

I have an application (VideoReDo) that requires an older Windows version for its file browser to work correctly. When I install the prefix I set it to WinXP. Newer versions cause problems when trying to create project files (possibly another bug).

Since v8 was released, every update that's been released in the devel tree keeps resetting the prefix back to Win10, forcing me to go in to winecfg to reset it back to WinXP.

I can understand setting new prefixes to Win10, but wine should not be overriding OS version settings for an existing prefix when a new update is installed.

From the attached image you will see the WinXP file browser on the left and the Win10 (or any other version newer than XP) on the right, along with the error that occurs when trying to save a project file on non XP versions.

Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon.

Correct image showing differences in file browsers depending on OS.

--- Comment #3 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com --- Confirming. This can be reproduced easily with winecfg/wineboot:

rm -rf ~/.wine wine winecfg /v win7 wine winecfg /v # prints win7 wineboot -u wine winecfg /v # prints win10

winecfg: Fix CurrentVersion registry string for Windows 10 and up.

It no longer reflects the real OS major and minor version numbers.

winecfg: Fix CurrentVersion registry string for Windows 10 and up.

It no longer reflects the real OS major and minor version numbers.

The issue existed before this patch but didn't show up because winecfg didn't look at the CurrentMajor/MinorVersion values before this patch (introduced with Windows 10).

Adding FLG_ADDREG_NOCLOBBER(0x2) to these registry values fixes it.
