Wine is corrupt after crash

[LMLM]

My computer froze while several things were running, including Wine. I had to hard reset. Now Wine doesn't work anymore.

$ winecfg
system.reg is not a valid registry file
userdef.reg:4: Mismatched architecture '#arch=win64'
userdef.reg is not a valid registry file
user.reg:4: Mismatched architecture '#arch=win64'
user.reg is not a valid registry file
wine: Bad EXE format for C:\windows\system32\wineboot.exe.
0009:err:process:start_wineboot failed to start wineboot, err 193
wine: Bad EXE format for C:\windows\system32\wineboot.exe.
000d:err:process:start_wineboot failed to start wineboot, err 193
wine: Bad EXE format for C:\windows\system32\winecfg.exe.

I already had both 64bit and 32bit before this. The problem started after the crash.

I checked the Debian repository and saw there was a new version - staging 4.4 - and upgraded, but that didn't fix it.
What will fix it?

Maybe there are other solutions, but the most easy way is to back-up your Wineprefix, create a new one and reinstall the applications you need.

Code: Select all

mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.old
wineboot -u
wine start /unix <path/to/setup.exe>
