Determining Wine Version

[kloszard]

My wine version installed from repositories is 1.7.24 x64.

I have also some other wineprefixes installed via SteamOnLInux. When I do the following to run one of these versions :

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="/mnt/data/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Wine32_ver1.62" WINEARCH='win32' wine 'winecfg'

The winecfg of my system (which is 1.7.24) opens. The /mnt/data/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Wine32_ver1.62 directory is the directory where I store the wine 1.6.2 version. In my opinion winecfg 1.6.2 should be opened with this command.

Is that something wrong in my system so that whatever prefix I choose, I run the system version of wine? Or running winecfg command is not a good way of checking the wine version? Or it is the good way but I do it wrong way?

No. If you want to use a version of Wine other than the system version, you have to specify the full path to the wine binary in the command line.

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix /path/to/wine winecfg

FYI, it's only necessary to specify WINEARCH=win32 when creating the wineprefix.
