I have it installed and working (as opposed to regedit) in my /usr/bin . However wine apps doesn't seem to find it. Should I rename it to regsvr32.exe and move (with the regsvr32.so) to my %windows dir ? If so, wouldn't it be better to let wine applications (win32) call native linux applications? Maybe a replacement section in the config which would accept stuff like: #This would let a call to a generic (search in wine's #Path) notepad and call a generic (in the user's unix #Path) gvim "notepad.exe" = "gvim" #This would be a more restricted one #only if the application called matchs the dir "c:\windows\sol.exe" = "/usr/X11R6/bin/solitaire" This would also avoid a linking hell in the c:\ tree. If wine can already call unix applications, or a replacement section as I suggest works, I can write an app to sync wine mime and extention registries (as windows explorer does on windows) with KDE/Gnome/mailcap/mime . I am not familiar with wine insides other than compiling it, but this might be a way I can help. -Raul Dias
