Did something stupid wine Wine prefix (Help!)

Post by Cespinarve »

Total wine novice here: in an attempt to get a program to run on my Mac, I was told I needed to create a wine Wine_32 prefix. Not knowing any bette rI booted the terminal and ran WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg

Whatever that did broke all the programs that worked previously - going into terminal and running wine whatever.exe no longer launches the program it used to launch. My log looks like this:

Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7bc969b4 "loader.c: loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0022, blocked by 0023, retrying (60 sec)
err:service:service_send_start_message service L"UMWdf" failed to start
fixme:service:scmdatabase_autostart_services Auto-start service L"UMWdf" failed to start: 1053
err:module:import_dll Library libvorbisfile.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Steins;Gate\\STEINSGATE.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\Steins;Gate\\STEINSGATE.exe" failed, status c0000135

Now, is any of that related to running WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg, or is it just some other, unrelated issue that came up after I reinstalled? (If you have an answer - and a solution - please answer as though you were talking to an elderly person who who's still not sure what happened to the UNIVAC machine of their youth. I really, really, really do not understand wine and therefore doubtlessly caused my own problems thanks to my ignorance.)

Wine Version?
System Version and System Details?

Besides that, did you follow these instructions https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=32254 ?

I suggest that you try to run it from a different wine prefix, just type:
"WINEPREFIX="/home/[your user name]/.wine2" WINEARCH=win32 winecfg"
This should at least "repair" the other applications (if you haven't changed anything else).

Further suggestions would be (as always): Use the latest wine version.
Only message i can interpret is the missing library: libvorbisfile.dll
Try to add it.
