I've installed both wine and winetricks, and whenever I open winetricks I'm notified that I'm using a 64bit prefix.
I'd like to change to a 32bit prefix, but since there doesn't seem to be any option to do so through winetricks' GUI, I used the terminal command:
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=path_to_wineprefix winecfg
Where, of course, I selected a proper path to the wineprefix instead of "path_to_wineprefix". The wineprefix seems to have been created, but I still get the same notification when I open winetricks, and the wineprefix I created doesn't appear on the list. The first prompt in winetricks says to "choose a wine prefix", so I don't understand why my created prefix doesn't show up...
Any help?

Ah, forgot to mention: I'm running Lubuntu 17.10.

Re: Can't change wine prefix
To use a wineprefix other than the default, for winetricks or anything else, you have to specify the wineprefix in the command line, just as you did when creating it, e.g.
Code: Select all
WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winetricks
Re: Can't change wine prefix
Thanks, understood. What about the right-click context menu? Can I change it or it always uses the default?dimesio wrote:To use a wineprefix other than the default, for winetricks or anything else, you have to specify the wineprefix in the command line, just as you did when creating it, e.g.Code: Select all

Re: Can't change wine prefix
Winemenubuilder should save the correct wineprefix to the .desktop file when you install something with Wine, so right-clicking a file and choosing "Open with..." should work.
