Can't create a win64 installation

[fivenote]

Looking for some help...

I'm on Debian Bullseye 64-bit and installed wine 9 according to https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian. In the Notes section it says a full 64-bit system should have...

Code: Select all

winehq-stable wine-stable wine-stable-amd64 wine-stable-i386

All these are installed. No previous wine or wine packages are on the system.

Whenever I create a new WINEPREFIX, it's always a 32-bit installation. When I run a 64-bit app I get...

Code: Select all

Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Bad EXE format for E:\home\pi\Backup\systems\rpi\setup\mt5\setup\mt5setup.exe

If I use WINEARCH=win64 to start the app or create a new WINEPREFIX with wineboot or winecfg I get...

Code: Select all

wine: WINEARCH set to win64 but '/home/pi/.wine' is a 32-bit installation.

What could be preventing wine from making a 64-bit installation?

Maybe found a cause, but don't know how to fix it...

When I install winehq-stable, wine-stable-amd64 is not shown as a dependency. I can install wine-stable-amd64 separately, but does this mean wine does not think I have a 64-bit OS?

Code: Select all

~ $ sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
