2004-10-30 Thread Dan Kegel

CurrentVersion missing

2004-10-30 Thread James Hawkins
The string HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CurrentVersion is missing from a normal wine install. When installing gmail notifier, the installer checks to make sure the OS version is NT or greater, but the installer calls GetVersion(), and after that succeeds, it then queries the C
