I wasn't able to find any documentation on how the detection works in /documentation. Something is lacking as ie6 setup runs fine if if a version is set and complains about not having a current windows version if not. It might be reading a key that doesn't exist by default, maybe //software//microsoft//windows nt//current version although I didn't capture the trace after I set [Version].

Any reason why we don't default the windows version to something recent like Win2K and let the user change this to an older version if necessary?
As has been said some times before, this value is a *forced* value, which thus overrides Wine's version detection mechanism in case no value is forced. IOW: a bad thing to do per default.
