Changing geographic location in system.reg?

[Jeevz]

Hello,

I'm trying to install a program a friend of mine is working on. His
instructions for my windows machine:

"BEFORE running the setup.exe program on this disk you have to change
the location of your computer in the control pannel to somewhere in
England."

How should I go about doing this with wine. Can I manually edit the
system.reg file? If so, what should I add?

Thanks in advance,
Jeevz

Running with --debugmsg +relay and looking what goes on before the "Call:

What an interesting idea! Apparently you can't run Control Panel
applets with Wine (I just tried timedate.cpl; it exits immediately
without saying anything at all.)

Thankfully, Wine's system.reg and user.reg files are plain text, so you
can use any text editor. The format is similar to the .reg files
exported by RegEdit, except for the header line and the fact that
backslashes are escaped. I _think_ that Wine gets its default time zone
information from unix, but you can try adding the following registry
data to system.reg (which I exported from a Windows 95 machine set to
London time):

[System\\CurrentControlSet\\control\\TimeZoneInformation]
"DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet"=dword:00000001
"ActiveTimeBias"=hex:c4,ff,ff,ff
"StandardName"="GMT Standard Time"
"DaylightName"="GMT Daylight Time"
"Bias"=hex:00,00,00,00
"StandardBias"=hex:00,00,00,00
"DaylightBias"=hex:c4,ff,ff,ff
"StandardStart"=hex:00,00,0a,00,00,00,05,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"DaylightStart"=hex:00,00,03,00,00,00,05,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"DaylightFlag"=hex:02,00,00,00

(Disclaimer: I haven't tested this under Wine, so no guarantees.)
