[Request]: Add Windows NT 4.0

[nfinite-recursion]

Tell us the problem or your need

Applications that rely on SPTI to interface with optical drives do not function in Wine when a call by device class is made. This is due to Wine not having an accurate method of acquiring this data and as such, has yet to be implemented.

However, Windows NT 4.0's early implementation of SPTI does not support call by device class and so most applications will fall back to call by drive letter or call by device interface which does work in Wine. This is the official workaround for such applications.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add Windows NT 4.0 to the list of selectable Windows versions.

As it is a 32bit only OS, it would make sense to only display it as an option when using a Custom 32bit Bottle.

Other solutions?

Another +1 for this.

There is a work around though.

Set the application to Windows XP using the usual Bottles setting.

Then use the Registry Editor, and open up the HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine folder, add a string value of Version, set it to nt40.

Just did this with DVD Decrypter and it worked like a charm.

Is there a wine bug for this ?

If so it's worth linking it here.
