wine 5.0.1 fail to set COM ports

Post by mkozikowski »

Sorry if this is already posted, but I could not find a solution.
I am trying to configure Wine to connect COM1 to /dev/ttyUSB0
I have followed the document on using regedit to add a key under Software/wine/ports. That value is there and remains every time I launch regedit. But I don't see any change to the ~/.wine/dosdevices folder and my software does not work.

my user belongs to plugdev and /dev/ttyUSB0 is owned by root:plugdev with the permissions of 0660.
I would appreciate any ideas on what to check to fix this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Make sure the wineserver is stopped after you have edited the registry.

Code: Select all

wineserver -k
