About new environment variable

[Zhongli Xu]

After I add an environment avriable in the system.reg file, e.g.
[System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
1185851455
"MY_VARIABLE"="VALUE"

I tried to read this variable thru the API GetEnvironmentVariable(), but it
failed.
Other variables, such as PATH, OS, are OK.

Any idea is welcomed.

Don't ever do that. Use regedit or proper registry API.

Also do not crosspost. If you asking in user channel, then ask there.
If you asking developers, then ask on wine-devel only.

Set the variable in your Linux/MacOS system. Like

export MY_VARIABLE=VALUE
wine myProgram.exe

The Files are Private to wine and a running wine overwrite your Changes.

When you want to change the registry use

wine regedit.exe

and use the GUI, or create a *.reg file and use:

wine regedit.exe <yourfile.reg>
