.wine' is a 32-bit installation

Post by ToddAndMargo2 »

Fedora 41

# wine --version
wine-10.0

# rpm -qa wine\*
wine-stable-10.0.0-1.1.x86_64
winehq-stable-10.0.0-1.1.x86_64

Just installed winhq
# dnf install winehq-stable

Now I am getting:

$ wine 123.exe
wine: '/home/todd/.wine' is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support 64-bit applications.

on all my 32 applications. They are all 32 bit.

Worked under fedora's repo.

What the heck?

As stated on our Fedora wiki page, starting with Fedora 40 our Fedora packages are new WoW64. I am surprised you don't know this, since you have posted questions and filed bugs about using our Fedora 41 packages.

Install your 32 bit programs to a new WoW64 wineprefix.

I will have to start free with a new .wine. This might actually be a good thing after all these years.

Part of the confusion was that my virtual machine of Fedora 41 was only touched by wine a few months ago. And I tested in it first.

I now have about 30 of the same eMail telling me of Dimesio's reply. And they come about every five minutes. All time stampted at 4:00 AM

Looks like PHPbb had a stale lock file that was causing the email queue to keep resending. Hopefully it is fixed now.
