Error creating win32 prefix

Post by lewieg »

Fedora35 and Wine7 (latest stable release from Fedora repo)

64bit environment works seemingly fine and can install components and run apps.

When trying to create a win32 prefix a folder is created with user and windows/system32 directories however all are empty. Command errors with the following:

Command: WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.wine_32 WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

002c:fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0)
Fontconfig error: failed reading config file: /etc/fonts/conf.d: Is a directory (errno 21)
Fontconfig error: failed reading config file: /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail: Is a directory (errno 21)
wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135

Any ideas what could be causing this? New to wine so limited troubleshooting ability.

As you are beginning to this software, you should use the stable version.
The version from Fedora 35 repository is a development version, I advise you to use WineHQ Stable (at this day the version number is 7.0).
Take a closer look to this page https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/bui ... ID=1917156 and you will notice the packages' name is wine-devel.
