Summary: winecfg is picking up the wrong Windows version
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.17
          Platform: x86-64
               URL: http://source.winehq.org/source/programs/winecfg/appde
                    faults.c?v=wine-1.3.17#L38
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, source
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: kennybobs@o2.co.uk
1. Open winecfg
2. Select Windows 7
3. OK to close
4. Open winecfg
2008R2 is selected.
The problem appears to be that winecfg is pulling the build version from the
registry - but different versions of Windows can use the same kernel and hence
have the same build number (such as 7 and 2008R2).
build_str = get_reg_key( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, szKeyNT, "CurrentBuildNumber",
NULL );
isn't enough information for winecfg to know which version you selected last
time.
A +winecfg trace shows this happening.
This has only become obvious now 2008R2 has been added, but XP x64 SP2 and 2008
SP2 will suffer the same fate (when added).
What I can make out from the code it seems to store szVersion but doesn't
retrieve it.  Obviously, I have no idea how to fix it or I would have sent a
patch.
