Configure "OSNAME" to be "WINDOWS"

[torstenrohlfing]

Hi -

I am trying to run some software that expects the "OSNAME" to be "WINDOWS." (I am not saying there is a variable of "OSNAME", but that's what the error message I get uses.)

Now it turns out that by changing the Windows Version in winecfg I can change this value (e.g., "Windows7" gives "NET_SRV", "Windows 98" gives "WIN_98"). But none of the available options appear to correspond to plain "WINDOWS."

I checked in regedit but couldn't find anything. Also grep'ed Wine source code for the OSNAME values appear to be supported, but couldn't find them either.

Any help or pointers where I might look further are greatly appreciated!

Okay, this was a stupid question - sorry for wasting everyone's time.

The OSNAME constants were coded into the program that I was trying to run. They're not actually provided by Wine at all, but are determined by the application program based on some opaque tests and lookup tables.

Again, sorry for asking a stupid question.
