[Bug 40035] New: VMware shared folders network provider fails loading in MPR

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40035

Bug ID: 40035
           Summary: VMware shared folders network provider fails loading
                    in MPR
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

On VMware Workstation 12, VMware Shared Folders come with a network provider,
vmhgfs.dll. But during registration, instead of using REG_SZ as Wine expects,
it uses REG_EXPAND_SZ with %SystemRoot%. And thus, it fails to load.

I'll submit a patch to Wine for fixing it, watch
