How to edit/modify system32 exe files?

[argolance]

Hello,
I would like to try to edit/modify default values of winebrowser.exe (for example with Reshacker) for it to open url and email addresses with Seamonkey... (Trying to solve this problem => See my post)

+-WineBrowser
| |
| +->Browsers
| | [List of browsers that Wine will attempt to launch when running winebrowser
| | command or clicking on a link in a Windows application. Default value is
| | xdg-open,firefox,konqueror,mozilla,netscape,galeon,opera,dillo]
| |
| +->Mailers
| [List of mail clients that Wine will attempt to launch when running winebrowser
| Default value is xdg-email,mozilla-thunderbird,thunderbird,evolution]

Is it a wrong idea?

Regards!

No, it's the correct idea and exactly the right place to change it.

Hello,
Thanks for your answer!

OK!
But, while opening 'winebrowser.exe' with Reshacker under LINUX (French Puppy LINUX =>Toutou LINUX), nothing happens, application window stays blan k:shock:. Do I have to open it properly under Windows or with an other program than Reshacker?

Regards.

What you quoted are registry entries.

What you trying to do - modify Wine's own programs with resource editors. It won't work/do anything.

Hello,
... If I well understand, I can just modify/create registry keys to solve my problem but not the winebrowser exe file? Sorry, I thought this could be done that way while adding 'Seamonkey' to the list of supported browsers.
I am a quite naïve amateur!

Correct. You can save this as .reg file and import it with 'regedit file.reg':

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\WineBrowser]
Browsers="seamonkey"
Mailers="seamonkey"

[argolance]

Hello vitamin,
Thanks a lot for your kind patience!
so, I saved

Code: Select all

 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\WineBrowser]
Browsers="seamonkey"
Mailers="seamonkey" 

as 'seamonkey.reg' and imported it into the registry. Then, I couldn't find this modification in the registry: just the entry 'winebrowser'. So I changed this to:

Code: Select all

 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\WineBrowser]
"Browsers"="seamonkey"
"Mailers"="seamonkey -mail"

(is it wright?)
The fact remains that now, links as 'http://www.xxx.com/index htm(l)' (it was already the case before modifying the registry) as well as 'http://www.xxx.com' or 'http://www.xxx.com/stuf.php' are opened in my seamonkey browser (it was not the case before modifying the registry).

But concerning emails, problem stays: nothing happens...

Something strange, my xerrs.log says:

wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\www.xxx.com" (though, as said above, it runs quite well!)
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\mailto:[email protected]"

No error mentioned about (for example this topic!) => 'http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=8600' which is opened in seamonkey...

Regards.

PS:
Forgot to report the third line:

Code: Select all

wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\www.xxx.com"
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\mailto:[email protected]"
err:winebrowser:launch_app could not find a suitable app to run

"Mailers"="seamonkey -mail"

Winebrowser doesn't support command line options. If you must specify them, then you need to use an external wrapper script.

Hello,

you must specify them, then you need to use an external wrapper script.

!
Could you please give me some explanation or any example, because it sounds hebrew for me!

Cordialemeht.

[vitamin]

Could you please give me some explanation or any example

File ~/bin/seamonkey_wrapper:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
seamonkey -mail $@

Registry:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\WineBrowser]
"Mailers"="/home/me/bin/seamonkey_wrapper"

Don't forget to 'chmod a+x ~/bin/seamonkey_wrapper'

[argolance]

Hello,
Thanks!
I already tried this but without success: (I thought the wrapper? script you were speaking of was something else)!

• - First test, exactly as you say, with the registry key "Mailers"="/usr/bin/seamonkey_wrapper":

  Code: Select all

  #!/bin/sh
  seamonkey -mail $@ 

  - Second test:

  Code: Select all

  #!/bin/sh
  seamonkey -mail "$@" 

  Every time, I get Seamonkey browser with untitled tab.
  
  - Third test:

  Code: Select all

  #!/bin/sh
  seamonkey -mail 

  This time I get Seamonkey mail main window.
  
  => xerrs.log (1, 2, 3):

  wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\mailto:[email protected]"
  Unrecognized URL: mailto:[email protected]

  I tried something else:

  Code: Select all

  #!/bin/sh
  seamonkey -mail

  and:

  Code: Select all

  "Mailers"="/usr/bin/seamonkey_wrapper "%1"" 

Nothing happens!

We are not far from the solution, I think...
Sorry to abuse.

seamonkey -mail $@

You should really try it first form the command line. The proper option to use is "-compose" not "-mail".

[argolance]

YESSSS!
Thank you very much vitamin for your precious help!
All is now correct with seamonkey browser and mailer though I still have this in my xerrs.log:

wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\mailto:[email protected]"

Is there something else to do for all being quite clean?

Cordialement!

[vitamin]

All is now correct with seamonkey browser and mailer though I still have this in my xerrs.log:

Put it all back the way I told you in the beginning.

[argolance]

Hello vitamin,
Sorry but I don't understand what you mean :

Put it all back the way I told you in the beginning

Do you mean I have to delete all the modifications I brought to the registry and do them again?

Regards.
