I was testing installing Virtualbox today and got an error that Windows XP is the minimum requirement. Funny I thought...we're emulating XP, it must want SP 2 or something strange. Fired up winecfg, and lo and behold, Windows 2000 is the default OS again. Thought I might be going crazy or botched my local tree, but checking out on a fresh tree shows the same thing. When/why did this happen?

Isn't the version wine is emulating stored in the registry? So you'll have to rm -r ~/.wine and let wine recreate it to see what the default is or look at the creation code in wine itself.

Hrmm so off by 1 error in your winecfg dropdown box then? Maybe check the actual registry file? grep -C6 "[Software\\\\Microsoft\\\\Windows NT\\\\CurrentVersion]" .wine/system.reg
Good luck, John

Registry shows the correct entry.
Interesting finding: austin@austin-desktop:~$ rm -rf .wine austin@austin-desktop:~$ winecfg # shows 2k wine: created the configuration directory '/home/austin/.wine' austin@austin-desktop:~$ rm -rf .wine austin@austin-desktop:~$ wineboot wine: configuration in '/home/austin/.wine' has been updated. austin@austin-desktop:~$ winecfg # shows XP
I'm only seeing this in my feisty VM. My feisty p3 server is fine...

Maybe you installed an old distributors version of wine?
Cheers, Maarten

I used to install the budgetdedicated deb each week, and run git from ~/wine-git, but I stopped that a couple months ago. I've been doing a sudo make install...I'll try to fiddle with my system more and see what the problem is, since it's apparently either a misconfiguration on my part, or a strange problem associated with the VM.
