software installation looks for windows product code

Post by steelliberty »

I have a proprietary software install which creates a machine code for use in having the software provider issue a security code. The software expects to find the windows product code in order generate the machine code.

Can I add a product code ?

No code is found when the installer checks.

thank you,

Yes, in fact if you have a native Windows install to hand you can export the Windows registry branch and re-import with the Wine regedit utility.

You had to do this sort of thing, when for example the Adobe Photoshop CS6 installer wasn't supported by Wine, manually copying the required registry keys from an install on native Windows...
