WOW64 mode does not seem to work on anything

theofficialgman · Post by **theofficialgman** » Wed Apr 26, 2023 10:27 pm

I am running wine 8.5 from the binaries provided in the wine ubuntu repos and I get this error on all 32bit CLI and GUI programs

Code: Select all

0158:err:environ:init_peb starting L"Z:\\tmp\\hh2d.golden.exe" in experimental wow64 mode
0158:err:module:load_wow64_ntdll failed to load L"\\??\\C:\\windows\\syswow64\\ntdll.dll" error c0000135

I have installed the i386 wine support with the only addition of renaming the wine and wine-loader binaries to something different so that wine64 does not see them. If I don't rename the binaries, then wine launches with the old i386 mode requiring linux 32bit support. To use the new wow64 mode, I am following the instructions according to the release notes.

When the 32-bit Wine loader isn't found, 32-bit applications are started in
the new experimental "Windows-like" WoW64 mode (where 32-bit code runs inside
a 64-bit host process).

Developers and some forum members claim that WOW64 is working in some capacity however this does not seem to be the case. I have tested with multiple CLI and GUI based applications and all produce the above error in this mode.

Please if any developer could respond with a testcase in which they know the mode works it would be much appreciated.

Just a fellow user here. This works. I wouldn't change any names. For kicks I searched for ntdll.dll and had these:

Code: Select all

~/.wine/drive_c/windows/syswow64/ntdll.dll
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ntdll.dll

To use the new WOW64 mode, you have to build Wine yourself with the --enable-archs=i386,x86_64 option.
When I try the program in the new wow64 mode it seems to work:

Code: Select all

wine hh2d.golden.exe

Hello, World!

Thanks @jkfloris that is exactly the information I needed. I have built myself and confirmed it is working in my simple apps I wanted to run as well.

Hello,
I have exactly the same output when installing "earmaster7setup.exe". I'm running wine 8.6 on fedora.
I just like to have it working. What are the most easy option to get this working please?
Downgrade Wine (if yes, how can i do please)?
Don't use wow64? (if you, how can i do please)?
Thx a lot!
Kristof

I was hoping that this bug has been handled by 8.12, though I see that is not the case. Anyone working on this? Any status update?

The file you want to run is 32-bit*. So you need the 32bit part of Wine for now,
or does Clear Linux already build the Wine packages with the "--enable-archs=i386,x86_64" option?

I am not sure how they compiled it, but as of CL 39630 I have been advised to run wine64. Before that I was running

Code: Select all

wine AURGAViewer_Installer_x64_v1.0.8.0.exe

fine (... more-or-less). At any rate, they are currently struggling with Wine, and they could use some help from someone who knows the inside story better than me: https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/2925

At this point, this is what happens with Wine 8.12:

Interestingly, after installing Bottles (https://usebottles.com/), I can now install Windows applications (specifically the AURGA viewer (see below))! Go figure!
