Wine 10.0 Simply does not work in Fedora 41

[Medora01]

I have tried for 3 days now and using every trick in the book, parden the pun, and Wine stable does not and will not allow me to create a 32 bit app that works totally fine in Zorin 17, but not Fedora 41, it just refuses to install 32 bit MP9 (media Player 9) but Zorin 17 will install it with not a problem.
I'm thinking wine just doesn't work in Fedora.
rm -r ~/.wine
sudo dnf install wine-core.i686
sudo dnf install winetricks
export WINEARCH=win32
wineboot --init
winetricks
did all that and no go.
Why does it install in Zorin without a hitch and not Fedora 41

3 days now trying to install a simple 32 bit app and Wine just messes my whole Fedora install to where I have to reinstall the whole OS, back to Ubuntu, as it does work in it.

I've merged your two threads, as they seem to be about the same issue.

Installing an app in Wine should not be able to mess up your entire system, unless you are doing it as root, which you shouldn't.

it just refuses to install 32 bit MP9 (media Player 9)

There are multiple apps named "media player"; do you mean Windows Media Player 9, or some other one? Post console output from trying to install it.

sudo dnf install wine-core.i686

That's the distro Wine package, not ours. I know that Fedora breaks up its Wine packaging into several packages, so it's possible that you need to install one or more of the other wine-* packages. I'm not a Fedora user, so I can't say what they might be; you could try asking on the Fedora forum.

Media player 9, I have already done the sudo dnf install wine-i686 thing, the weird thing is I had it working a week ago, I have searched the web high and low for all the commands and there is no way it works with wine 10.0, and the one time I thought is was working, it installed media player 9 to my applications on my linux system, I will create a WINEARCH=win32 winecfg, set it and the media player 9 looks like its installing, then it comes up that this player only works in windows 98 or XP, well I have everything set to that, I have tried 20 times now and now it won't in Ubuntu either, 10 times on it.
