[Bug 9959] New: Make wine updates work even if the registry changed

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9959

Summary: Make wine updates work even if the registry changed
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-misc
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Currently, we tend to tell people to start with a new .wine directory after
updates. For wine 1.0 and after, we should probably have some tool to handle
this more gracefully.

This should be working for 1.0 and probably needs testing.

Yes, thanks, I'll start marking bugs as dups of this instead of closing 
them as invalid.

I was thinking about this earlier and was getting ready to file a bug for it
but found this one.

How about a little file in .wine  or a registry key that is read upon running
wine, and should match the current wine version. If it doesn't, call
wineprefixcreate (or pop up an error saying that the registry is outdated),
which then updates that key to the current wine version. Shouldn't be too much
overhead and prevents quite a few problems.

what about subdir under ~/.wine/ for every version of wine?
