Hello,
i'm looking for a lightweight way to read the windows regitry. I don't
know windows, so i don't know how it's done. The goal in simply to check
the windows network configuration of a machine from a live-cd, to use
the same parameters on the running live-cd. Do i need wine api and dlls
to do that, or is this the windows registry readable using lower-level
way ? I would prefer not to use wine, then network detection could be
done from ramdisk during boot.
If you are a programmer, then you can hack up wine/misc/registry.c to do read the registry and output in whatever format you want. Otherwise, you could put together several wine libs, together with regedit (so probably regedit, ntdll, advapi32, kernel32 and maybe user32, gdi32, and ttydrv) and then you can do command line stuff with regedit. You will have to hack around with your wine config file to make it use the windows registry though.
In short, what you are trying to do isn't really a part of wine's goals, so you are going to have to do a bit of work to do what you want.
