Bug comments restored from Gmane.org:

running wine 20021031 with an installed copy of Windows ME, I tried to start MS
Word. It complained that it was not installed. I compared the wine system.reg
and the registry dump from regedit.exe and found the following difference:

Windows Registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\Applications\WINWORD.EXE\shell\edit\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\WINWORD.EXE\" /n"
"command"=hex(7):4c,6a,4e,25,21,67,78,73,66,28,4e,67,5d,71,46,60,48,7b,4c,73,\
  57,4f,52,44,46,69,6c,65,73,3e,6c,6c,54,5d,6a,49,7b,6a,66,28,3d,31,26,4c,5b,\
  2d,38,31,2d,5d,20,2f,6e,00,00

~/.wine/system.reg:
[Software\\CLASSES\\Applications\\WINWORD.EXE\\shell\\edit\\command] 1036529854
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\WINWORD.EXE\" /n"
"command"=str(7):"LjN%!gxsf(Ng]qF`H{LsWORDFiles>llT]jI{jf(=1&L[-81-] /n\0"

Replacing the "command"= line in ~/.wine/system.reg with the one from the
Windows registry fixed the problem. Looking at an ASCII table, I realized that
the string was the same byte values, except the byte order was swapped.

Changing the byte order to
[Software\\CLASSES\\Applications\\WINWORD.EXE\\shell\\edit\\command] 1036745211
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\WINWORD.EXE\" /n"
"command"=str(7):"jL%Ng!sx(fgNq]`F{HsLOWDRiFel>sll}TIjj{(f1=L&-[18]-/ n\0"

fixed the problem. MS Word started, loaded a file and saved it with no problem.
This is probably a general problem with all registry values that load to str(7).
I saw it in several other str(7) values in the system.reg file.

Should be easy to fix, but I don't know anything about Wine's architecture, so I
don't even know where to begin looking for the function that reads in the
Windows registry.
