Linux - Wine - is it possible to force locale + date/time format?

Question

I would like to run some sensor software using Wine and serial port. However, this SW strictly requires exact date/time settings to work correctly.

I created a new account in KDE (running Kubuntu 13.04) and set the locale to US English. However, although I deleted .wine folder, Wine still seems to use Czech locale or at least some settings. As I do not want to damage my default system locale settings, I run the program using:

LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 wine program.exe

But the problem with date/time format remains. I need dd/mm/yy and time in hh:mm:ss - the same as uses Windows to make the program work properly.

is it possible?

thanks

Yes, you need to run wine regedit, and edit the appropriate keys (sShortDate, sTimeFormat) in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International

Exit regedit and check that settings were saved with

wine regedit /E - 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International'
