🌸 REGSVR32 — the Wine manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so you opened the Wine Programs manual and landed on REGSVR32(1). sit down, hydrate, this is gonna be cute and also extremely useful.

✨ NAME ✨

regsvr32 — the Wine DLL Registration Server 👑

like, it registers DLLs. that's the whole job. and it's so good at it.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

regsvr32 [/u] [/s] [/n] [/i[:cmdline]] dllname

that's it. that's the whole vibe. five little things and a dllname. slay.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

regsvr32 is the Wine dll registration server, and the way it's built? it's designed to be compatible with its Microsoft Windows counterpart. so if you know the Windows one, you already know her. iykyk.

by default — no flags, no drama — it will register the dll you hand it. that's the default behavior, no cap. ✨

🎀 COMMANDS 🎀

  • /u — unregister the specified dll. it's giving reverse uno card 🔄
  • /s — run regsvr32 silently. meaning: it will not show any GUI dialogs. zero popups, zero interruptions, just vibes. 🤫
  • /i — call DllInstall and pass it an optional cmdline. and when you use it together with /u? it calls DllUninstall instead. the way that one flag flips the whole meaning depending on company… 💅
  • /n — do not call DllRegisterServer. important: this option must be used with /i. it does not stand alone, bestie, it needs a buddy. 🫶

💀 BUGS 💀

found a bug? iconic of you honestly. bugs can be reported on the Wine bug tracker. go tell them, they want to know. 🐛

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

regsvr32 is part of the Wine distribution, which is available through WineHQ, the Wine development headquarters. that's where the source of truth lives. 🏰

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

  • wine(1)
  • Wine documentation and support.
heads up bestie: /n without /i is not a thing. don't do it. i'm not being mean, i'm being protective. 💜
