Problem running 16bit App in wine32, but works on wine 64

Post by TCR1963 »

I want to run an old, 16bit, application in WINE32, which turned out to be impossible. The start of the installer already is failing with the following output at the console:

Code: Select all

0110:err:sync:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 6C8449E0 "dlls/krnl386.exe16/syslevel.c: Win16Mutex" wait timed out in thread 0110, blocked by 0114, retrying (60 sec)
The program is running like a charm on a x64 platform running wine64, but not on a i386 platform running win32, which is quite unexpected to happen. It is calling winevdm, but then stops giving the output posted above.

I need to have it run on this old hardware (i686, Debian 12), and it worked under Win10 x32 before.

=> anyone out there having experienced such problem before?
