I tweaked wine and now renpy won't run

I did something to get a game running on Wine, and now RenPy won't run on it (Linux machine).

I get a "version not supported: this program requires windows vista or greater to run" message


and this is the terminal output:

*sigh*

Would it be MacOS, I would understand because many devs do not generate a build for it. But 95% of Ren'Py games available here can be played natively on Linux. So why the hell do you need Wine for them?

As for your issue itself, it's said by the error message. You need to configure Wine for it to identify itself as Windows Vista or a higher version.

This might help:

wine regedit
browse to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
change CurrentBuild and CurrentBuildNumber to 19044
Close all Wine programs with wineserver -k and try to restart the msi file.
