I was wondering about that too. In my case what happened when I registered wine.inf was that it aborted after every single directory it created because of that error. So I had to restart it many times and did in between different tests such as adding printing out status informations. Every time another path got created and then when I was finally checking at NtCreateFile level all the directories were finally created. So I thought I would delete a few directories again but executing wine.inf registration again did not create the missing directories anymore!! I was very much wondering if the registration process really should abort completely when one of the registration parts failed for some reason. It would seem more sensible to me to continue with the rest of the registration anyhow. Rolf Kalbermatter
