Dragon Age Installer: starting 64-bit process not supported

Post by McFlow »

Hi,
I am having trouble installing Dragon Age Origins.
I am using ArchLinux 64 Bit and I have the package wine installed from the community repo. It's wine-1.3.0
Package details are here if it helps...
When I launched the autorun.exe or setup.exe I got this output in the terminal

Code: Select all

wine autorun.exe 
Trying to load PE image for unsupported architecture (AMD-64)
err:process:create_process starting 64-bit process L"E:\\autorun.exe" not supported on this environment
So I think it's related to the wine package I use. I removed it. Then I installed the wine_64package from the AUR.
When starting setup.exe I got an arror popup:

Code: Select all

"Error creating process >C:\users\florian\Temp\IPX0000.TMP\sex.exe>.
Reason: internal error
I clicked the ok button and checked that folder. Temp was empty. I laucnhed setup.exe again and then this folder is created and it contains this exe. After clicking ok it's removed.
Since the wine_64 package in AUR is not 1.3.0 it downloaded it's source and compiled with 64 bit support. Same as with wine_64.
Can someone give me a hint?

When you tested with 64 bit Wine, did you create a new wineprefix? If not, try that.

Yes I did that. Wine 64 Bit does not even run with the prefix from 32.

But it seems like there is a problem with my disk :(
Installation does not even work on the windows vm. It complains about missing files :/
So propably not a wine issue.

You are likely using a pure 64-bit Wine which won't run 32-bit apps. You either need a pure 32-bit Wine or use a WoW64 enabled Wine (a wine consisting of 32-bit and 64-bit).

it should be the i586 version as you want to run 32bit Windows apps
