I'm trying to get a program to work which is not in the database. I know that WINE is supposed to work like it was Windows XP, but the question is, which Service Pack? I am told by the author of the program (Lorne Anderson's Bridge Analyser) that the program requires specifically Windows XP SP3 or later. Is this the problem?
Thanks for any info.

32-bit Wineprefix
64-bit Wineprefix
In other words: when you need Windows XP SP3 or later, you need a 32-bit wineprefix or set your Windows version to 2003 or later.

Re: *Exactly* what version of Windows is simulated?
Depending on how wine implements various servicepack "features", the x64 version of XP 1 servicepack "ahead" of the 32-bit version. (XP x64 was released at XP Sp1 level).In other words: when you need Windows XP SP3 or later, you need a 32-bit wineprefix or set your Windows version to 2003 or later.
So if a program needs some "feature" that was implemented in SP3, it should probably work fine with XP x64 SP2, but it might be totally incompatible with any syswow64 based windows and needs a pure 32-bit os.
