           Summary: winecfg should let users override IE registry key easily
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-programs
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dank at kegel.com


Many apps refuse to install if IE isn't at
least a certain version, even if they don't
need IE at all.  They're just using it as 
a quick and dirty way to check whether certain prerequisites
exist without specifying the prerequisites.
Thus recipes for installing applications often
say things like "Install MFC40, MFC42, and the VB Runtime,
and then set this cryptic registry key to fool the
app into thinking IE6 SP2 is installed"

Let's make that last step easier, and make it
a pulldown or checkbox in winecfg.
