wine-staging-1.9.2 is missing win95

Post by mpurtell »

The latest wine-staging version 1.9.2 is missing any windows version < XP. Is this the correct forum to post for this?

Thanks in advance - mike

I seriously doubt that. Most likely you have created a 64 bit wineprefix; versions of Windows older than XP are only available in 32 bit wineprefixes, because there were no 64 bit versions of them.

I neglected to include that this was for a 64bit install. So thi sis expected, nothing under XP for a 64 bit install unless ? is included? The 32 bit install does have windows versions < XP.

Nothing under XP for a 64 bit wineprefix. You can create a 32 bit wineprefix on a 64 bit system. https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#32_bit_wineprefix

Got it. That's exactly what I was looking for.
