Hello,
I have wine (20010822) installed on a Linux Redhat 7.2 box and would like to
install Starcraft. When I execute the Starcraft install binary I get a pop
up window with an error of "no program start menu found". At the LinuxGames
site (http://www.linuxgames.com/starcraft.php3) there is a HOWTO which
addresses this problem, it reads as follows:
***********************************************************************
Rob Latham sent an email laying out the following fix for the "no program
start menu found" problem. This text is taken directly from the email:
Solution: edit ${HOME}/.wine/user.reg and put the "Programs" key there
yourself. As I see it (please correct me if I'm wrong), the wine
versions of the registry are plain text files, with tabs to delimit the
tree hierarchy of the windows registry. I added a branch to the
"Software" trunk by adding these six lines (using actual tabs for "\t",
but you get the idea)
\tMicrosoft
\t\tWindows
\t\t\tCurrentVersion
\t\t\t\tExplorer
\t\t\t\t\tShell Folders
\t\t\t\t\t\tPrograms=1,1,C:\\WINDOWS\\Start Menu\\Programs
Why the "1,1," before the path? I don't know, but wine's registry
parser looks for two commas and then the path after the key name.
***********************************************************************
I tried to apply this fix but it didn't seem work. What I did was add these
six lines to my user.reg file replacing the \t with actual tabs. Can anyone
tell me how to fix this problem?
Thanks
Troy
