Summary: Windows genuine advantage not compatible.
Product: Wine

Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal

Component: wine-binary

Hi,
Windows genuine advantage no longer seems to work.
Limited research I have performed on the net says that this is because windows
genuine advantage is now looking for WINE keys in the registry.
My suggestion:
Either make wine hide its registry keys from apps other than winecfg for eg. Or
add some sort of check box in winecfg to turn this on and off.
I remember seeing a message on winehq from a windows software developer. He was
asking how to detect wine so he could use workarounds in his program. From what
I can remember, your response was "don't", because WINE was after full
compatability.
So I cant see this would negativity affecting compatibility.
Plus: It was working once.
