Native windows install works under 1.3.0b3

I am currently running version 1.3.0b3.

I had trouble with the installer - InstallShield did something funny with the screen where an area wouldn't update, even if I switched applications. Anybody know how to get around this?

I do have Photoshop CS installed under windows (XP). After a couple of tweaks, it seems to run nicely (a little slower than in Windows, of course, but completely usable for my purposes).

When I first ran it (via the command line), I got an error stating CS wouldn't work under the current version of windows. This is fixed by adding a couple of lines to ~/.cxoffice/dotwine/config as follows:
[Appdefaults\\Photoshop.exe\\Version]
"Windows"="win2k"

That error solved. The second error I got was that personalization information was missing. This was fixed by manually adding the registration entry from Windows to ~/.cxoffice/dotwine/system.reg.

First, I rebooted to Windows, then, I exported [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EFB21DE7-8C19-4A88-BB28-A766E16493BC}] to a file. After rebooting to linux, I opened up the exported file in KWrite. The desired information was there but there was an extraneous character between every useful one. Fortunately, they were all the same character, sos a replace all cleaned it up very nicely. After deleting extraneous header information, and changing the backslashes in the main key, (to [Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\{EFB21DE7-8C19-4A88-BB28-A766E16493BC}]), I copied the whole file, then pasted the registration into system.reg, and saved.

Now it works! It is a little slow to load, but seems to work great.

Sorry, make that 3.1.0b3, (not 1.3.0b3!).
