Hello folks,

confirming.

It should only affect games/installers that truly need WinVer 'Win9x' for
whatever reasons (old games that never targeted NT/XP systems).

That (dynamic) registry tree is managed by Win9X configuration manager which
maintains a list of active devices under 'HKEY_DYN_DATA\Config Manager\Enum'
The items in the list contain values named "HardwareKey" which are the names of
keys under 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum'.

$ wine --version
wine-1.7.14-126-g2bb1059
