How to set Windows Version as an environmental variable?

[ToastyBug]

How do I set the Windows Version as an environmental variable or by prefixing it before the wine command in a terminal instead of using winecfg? Something like this:

Code: Select all

WINEWINDOWSVERSION=xp wine myprogram.exe

or

Code: Select all

export WINEWINDOWSVERSION=xp
wine myprogram.exe

You can't. You can use winetricks to make it easier.

If you're planning on reporting different Windows versions to different apps within the same wineprefix then you can't do that either. The details are stored in the registry. Use separate wineprefixes.
