Another Q about a 32-bit install on 64-bit: using winetricks

[Scott65]

I've followed the FAQ and have a 32-bit wine prefix in ~/.wine32

I just ran
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg

And it installed a brand new 32-bit install...

So how come:

$ WINEARCH=win32
$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32
$ winetricks
------------------------------------------------------
You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug.
------------------------------------------------------

???? How is it still using the 64 bit prefix if I just set WINEPREFIX to ~/.wine32 ?

If I run
$winecfg it's using the old 64-bit prefix too...

How to actually get this to work? Does anyone have both a 64-bit and a 32-bit on their system? Or do I have to completely delete the old 64-bit first... (I have a lot installed there... and most of it works...)

Is there a way to switch between the two or what?

It's not making sense...

How do I install software on .wine32 and get winetricks to use the new 32-bit install?

$ WINEARCH=win32
$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32
$ winetricks

Try instead:

Code: Select all

export WINEARCH=win32
export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32

Ahhhh yes... "export" ! (Totally forgot about that.) duh.

Thanks!

FYI: I couldn't install this game from the CD/DVD drive with those settings "exported."

wine control returned "access denied" when I tried to run setup.exe from the CD/DVD drive.

Had to export back to win64 and ~/.wine to make it work then use:

$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 WINEARCH=win32 wine control

to install it...
