Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winecfg
(use the actual path to the wineprefix)

For more info about using different wineprefixes: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#wineprefix

Thank you for the reply

sadly i must inform you that this commend did not work as it should have

here is what a got

Code: Select all

levan@Saturn:~$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winecfg
wine: chdir to /path/to/wineprefix
 : No such file or directory
It might be my fault and if it is sorry for that i am new to Gnu/linux

Obviously you didn't read what dimesio told you. "/path/to" have to exist and usually is your home directory. While "wineprefix" should not. If you want to make you default WINEPREFIX a 32-bit only then command would be:

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
Note, you might have to rename/delete $HOME/.wine directory for this to work.

Sorry that i am not giving you much feedback to work with
this is what i got

Code: Select all

levan@Saturn:~$ WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/levan/.wine' is a 64-bit installation.
levan@Saturn:~$ 
does this means that wine is set to 32 bit ???

No. Re-read what I said about "wineprefix" NOT existing.

thank you for your help

When i sad i am new to linux, i think it means something and the answers should be a bit simplified
I understand mostly how windows works, but this thing is totally different from my point of view even file locations makes no sense for me

so sorry for bothering you and thank you for your valuable time
