USBDongleDriverInstall

Trying to follow this recipe from http://wiki.winehq.org/USB to see if I can get a dongle recognized in WINE

Import HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\Vid_<vid>&Pid_<pid> and HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\<driver name> from Windows registry as NT4 .reg files. Here <vid> is vendor ID, <pid> is product ID, <driver_name> is a string from HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\Vid_<vid>&Pid_<pid>\<instance id>\Service.

Copy a driver. Driver path is contained in Windows registry in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\<driver_name>\ImagePath

.

Have a 1.7.33 deb install of wine. Opening regedit and walking through the HKLM tree I get to the \Enum| directory, however there is no \USB\ directory therein. I'm not very knowledgeable with Wine or the registry. The notes on patching the source for USB capablities seemed to refer to older releases of wine and I didn'nt see any patches for any releases after 2012.

Do I copy the USB directory from the Windows registry or does the absence of a USB directory imply there is no USB support in this 1.7.33 deb and that I need to install from source or drop back to the 1.6 stable deb?

Thanks

That patch has never been a part of Wine; its author abandoned it years ago. You will have to patch and compile Wine yourself to try it, and since it is so old, it may not apply to current Wine.
