             Bug #: 34497
           Summary: ProAIS2 Serial Port enumeration requires Registry
                    Local_Machine/…/Enum/SERIAL/COM1/COM1/*
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: winehq at paul.sladen.org
    Classification: Unclassified


ProAIS2 (Marine AIS software from SRT in the UK, and re-badged by large numbers
of OEMs) performs Serial Port detection by enumerating the registry.  The
following keys need to be added:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\SERIAL\COM1\COM1]
"ClassGUID"="{4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}"
"FriendlyName"="Serial Port (COM1)"
"PortName"="COM1"

in addition to the matching

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1

If only the ClassGUID/FriendlyName are set, then the port will be found, but
immediately switched to in-case.  PortName is being prefixed with "\\.\"
("\\\\.\\") to form "\\.\COM1".

Kudos to Doug Brown for tracking down most of the issue:
