[Wine]regedit not working

[Scott F. Kiesling]

I tried all of the suggestions. Upgrading gives the same error. Changing 
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH helps, but now it just tells me 'winedefaults.reg' 
is not found. It appears I don't have a'winedefault.reg'.  
Anywhere. I sort of thought running regedit would create. How do I get it?

BTW, the distro is Gentoo and I'm using a Gentoo package (ebuild).
