             Bug #: 34205
           Summary: Regedit doesn't import .reg files formatted like the
                    example in the FAQ
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.6
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: jluth at mail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Much of the documentation on the web, including the Wine FAQ, reports the
syntax of a .reg file as:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides] "winemenubuilder.exe"="" 

example from http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ   section 5.4


Note specifically that this is all on one line.   This does not work in Wine
1.6.  It DOES work if the "key" is on one line, and the name/value pair is on
another line.

Other examples show multiple name/value pairs behind the key - still all on one
line.  

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf] @="PDFfile" "Content Type"="application/pdf"  
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PDFfile\Shell\Open\command] @="winebrowser \"%1\"" 

example from http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ   section 7.4

Currently, each name/value pair needs to be on a separate line.
