How to run a .reg file?

Hi,

I need to run a .reg file.

In windows, I think I'd just double click on it. If I try to run it in wine, it says it's not a valid executable. How do I run it?

Hi, try using the console:

wine regedit <path to file>

Best wishes,

I just do "wine regedit" in terminal, then go to "Registry" in the upper-left, and say "Import Registry File".

Code: Select all

wine start <file.reg>

This will work for any file, supported by Wine.

Just make sure it has the .reg extension and place it on your desktop(For easy access) and double click it. Mind if i ask what you are adding or changing to the registry?

When I get to the Registry Editor window, I go to Import Registry File and click on the file I want to open and it doesn't import, is this where I open the .reg files?

Can you post the content of the .reg file? If it's really long, put it on pastebin and post the link.
