In some special cases, I have to add a registry key to wine. Is it possible to do so using the command line, and how?

Here are the steps I do from GUI:

wine regedit
  • On the left, open HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then open Software
  • Right click on Wine -> New -> Key (named Direct3D)
  • Right click on Direct3D -> New -> String Value (named VideoMemorySize, double click on it and set it 1024

This is a standard winetricks configuration item:

So, you can do:

$ winetricks videomemorysize=1024
------------------------------------------------------
You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug.
------------------------------------------------------
Executing w_do_call videomemorysize=1024
Executing load_videomemorysize 1024
Setting video memory size to 1024
Executing winetricks_early_wine regedit C:\windows\Temp\_videomemorysize=1024\set-video.reg

  • This configuration is for setup World Of Tanks under wine. I don't know if the key named Direct3D in the wine directory is there for a special reason, or if it is just here for add a videomemorysize (in that case your command should work). I'm deleting my Direct3D key and i tell you if that works !

  • @UgoHed winetricks only supports a limited set of registry modifications. If you need to use custom keys, you'd be better off creating a registry file and running it with wine regedit.exe.
