Possible to create a wireless adapter registry?

Post by ruinairas »

Onlive has a check that searches the system registries for an available wireless adapter or Ethernet adapter. By default wine doesn't have such reg. so it fails to install/run. Any possible solutions?

If you have dual boot, you can look In Windows with a program named "Process monitor" (Sysinternals) which registry keys you application reads (or write). Using filters (in filter options choose the name of app by "Command Line" - , then only "Show Registy Activity" button must be pressed on the panel, other -unpressed).

Then you may go to registry with regedit.exe and open that branch or entry, export it to file and you may import it in Wine regedit.

May use VirtualBox or other VM also to run Windows...

But usually program creates all necessary registry keys at the installation in Wine. Maybe there is some exceptions I dunno.

Ya, I was thinking about going the virtualbox way. On paper this strategy looks good. Lets see if it actually works.

I meant use VirtualBox just to launch the app and the Process Monitor inside there to see which registry keys the app reads/writes :wink:
