[Wine] Editing windows registry with wine

[janoliver]

Hi there,

I need to change a key in the registry of a windows xp to be able to login again. So I booted the ubuntu live cd, installed wine and tried to execute the C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe

The first time I tried, some DLL's weren't found, which are located in C:\WINDOWS\system32. Setting the WINEDLLPATH didn't help, so I just copied the regedit.exe to the system32 folder and executed it with wine.

Unfortunately, the wine-regedit was executed, which only allows me to edit the wine registry located in ~/.wine I think.

How can I run the actual windows regedit.exe or edit the windows registry with the regedit tool bundled with wine?

Thanks for help!
