Summary: IniFileMapping not Implemented (ini on win9x => Registry
on NT)
Product: Wine
Version: CVS
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: wine-kernel
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: wine.dev at web.de
With Windows NT, windows did a switch from INI-Files to the Registry.
Older Applications (win9x) use INI-Files with the Functions around
Get[Private]ProfileString (implemented in dlls/kernel/profile.c).
This Set of Functions are Modified with Windows NT in such a way,
that the Informations are redirected to the Registry.
The Redirection is done on all Levels (INI-File, Section and Value) and the
Rules for the Redirection are saved in:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/IniFileMapping
Wine has no support for this and need to change settings twice.
This is a lot of extra code to maintain and also introduce Bugs, when only one
Place is changed. (Example is the Default Printer).
