Registry edits for Serial Ports keep vanishing

[baltee]

This is an odd one for me. Whenever I edit the wine registry, using regedit for adding a serial port, the entry vanishes on it's own it seems. After an app crash or a machine reboot, I go back into regedit and it is just gone.. Any ideas? I have already created the Com1 entry in /.wine/dosdevices

I'm running Mint 16 32-bit, with wine 1.6.1. The only reason for this registry edit is that I have windows software that is looking for the com port listing in the registry and without the manual entry, the com port doesn't display in the software.

Thank you in advance!

baltee this sounds like bug.

First try adding the registry entries then running a

Code: Select all

wineserver -k

If they remain after this its most likely been a case that wine has been brutally terminated and not allowed to write registry out.

If they still disappear please try latest 1.7.x if not fixed please open a bug report at http://bugs.winehq.org/
