Hi devil77329, please stop spamming this bug, your comments are not helping at
all.

Concerning the Witcher, there are probably more problems. This bug is about
registration not working. Also I have an older Witcher version 1.0 vs yours 1.4
Enhanced Edition. If registration is not working for you, try winetricks
wininet. If the registration is working, however the patch check for
registration is failing, it is probably a bug 26538 or you may open a new bug
but see below.

I noticed you are using PlayOnLinux. This is not supported here, try clean
install or ask at PlayOnLinux forums. Also even with clean install bugzilla is
_not_ for user support, try IRC (#winehq at freenode.net), AppDB, wine Forums
or get Crossover for paid support. More links here:
http://www.winehq.org/help/.

I also don't see why you would need .Net 4.0. I did The Witcher install on
Windows XP + patching up to 1.5 to be sure the certificates works on Windows
and only .Net 3.0 is needed. which can be obtained with winetricks.

BTW correct wineprefix is selected with env WINEPREFIX="/path/to/wineprefix"
