Registry override?

[jcfuller]

I first installed kchmviewer.

I then created the file run_prog:
#!/bin/sh
$1 "`wine winepath -u "$2"`"

I tested by running from a terminal
run_prog kchmviewer c:\MyChmFile.chm
This worked fine

I edited the registry entry for chm.file to
/usr/bin/run_prog kchmviewer %1

Note:
While researching regedit I noticed the reference to wineprefixcreate at:
http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys

Do you now call wineboot to update?

A windows program using ShellExecute with "open" on c:\MyChmFile.chm appears to still call HH.EXE

Is it possible to override wine using HH.EXE?

Last tested on clean install of rc2

You need to associate that file extension properly - see [HKEY_CLASSES] registry hive. It works the same as on windows.

vitamin,
I assume you mean HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT?

I thought I did.

I have:
.chm Default REG_SZ chm.file

vitamin,

Yeah sorry.

I thought I did.

I have:
.chm Default REG_SZ chm.file

James

And what do you have under chm.file?

Code: Select all

wine regedit /e - "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\chm.file"

[jcfuller]

you're the man vitamin. Thank You

works fine except if there is a space in the path I use in the
ShellExecute call.

Doesn't make a difference if I enclose the path in double quotes.

I tried a couple different variations of single and double quotes but no joy.

[jcfuller]

Got it.
I added quotes to the chm.file entry

/usr/bin/run_prog kchmviewer "%1"

Thanks again vitamin
