Summary: Incorrect documentation for setting PATH

           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/environment-v

        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: www-unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Currently page states "To set them you should launch wine regedit and then go
to the

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment"

In wine-1.0.1 the key does not exist. I eventually found it at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/SessionManager/Environment

All the docs are out-of-date, there really should be one report for this or
these could continually build up.

I, too, have that key in 1.3.13 in a fresh wineprefix. I also can't figure out
what page the OR is quoting from in the first place.

At the time this was filed, 1.0.1 was already over a year old; the current
version of Wine at the time was 1.1.33. My guess is that at the time this bug
was filed the instructions were correct for the then-current version but not
for the obsolete version.

Marking invalid.
