Can't Change region (country)

Post by parenasm »

Hi everybody

I'm trying to run a vb6 app, but appears a error about regional setup:
change country ti Chile (I live in Chile)
change decimal: .
etc etc

I was made changes with regedit, but lack country field.
I changed sCountry in user.reg (wine) and with regedit (changing Spain for Chile) and nothing, continues appearing error notice: "change country to Chile".

I don't know what more I need to edit.

Thanx4all :oops:

Don't do that.
- Never ever edit user.reg file directly. It will be overwritten by wineserver. Or you can end up with corrupted registry. Always use regedit
- Wine automatically updates region settings based on your system setup. All changes to them in registry will be overwritten.

Just make sure that your system (Linux) configuration is set correctly. This includes locale.

I already told you that those settings will be overwritten by Wine. DO NOT change your regional settings in registry!

Set your system locale properly. See output of 'locale' command.
