wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string, error message "wine: '/home/Michael/.wine' is a 64-bit installation, it cannot be used with a 32-bit wineserver."
does this mean that my Wine installed through Synaptics is 32bit instead of 64?

I think my problem was I had by mistake installed Wine 32-bits and Winetricks 64-bits, I guess now it's fixed, this is the output for the installed packages.

My ultimate goal is to install Line apps (a messenger similar to Whatsapp), in order to do so, I need to install vcrun2008, however the install was aborted, I'll open another topic for this problem. Thanks so much for your help, jkfloris.
