--- Comment #4 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com --- It would still be nice, so that winetricks could use it instead of having to duplicate the registry entries, etc.

--- Comment #6 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com --- Additional request (that could go in a separate bug if this is fixed without it):

A way to query winecfg to print the current windows version would be nice for winetricks (rather than having to parse the registry or using autohotkey).

--- Comment #7 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello Austin,

--- quote --- A way to query winecfg to print the current windows version would be nice for winetricks (rather than having to parse the registry or using autohotkey). --- quote ---

this would make sense if one decides to add some 'set winver "<caption>"' command to 'winecfg' to make it symmetrical.

If it's only for the query capability I suggest to consider enhancing the Windows builtin methods/tools, avoiding Wine-proprietary interface.

--- snip --- $ wmic os get buildnumber,caption,CSDVersion /format:csv --- snip ---

--- snip --- $ systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version" --- snip ---

$ wine --version wine-4.12.1

Regards

--- Comment #8 from Owen Rudge owen@owenrudge.net --- I've submitted two patches which should fix this bug:

https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2020-April/164556.html https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2020-April/164557.html

Adding in the ability to return the current version has not been implemented however, but should perhaps be opened as a separate request.

Thanks Owen! This will be really helpful for winetricks in the long run.

There's one small issue, though. It exits with an error, even when it did update the windows version:

austin@laptop $ wine winecfg /v win81 ; echo $? 1

(winecfg itself reports Windows 8.1, after, as expected). It should only error out if the registry update failed, or if trying to use an invalid version (winxx, or using anything before xp on a 64-bit prefix).
