Post by kalimoro »

Hello, I have been searching for this error but i didnt fix my problem.
I have wine installed on my Debian (Kali Linux 2) but I always get the same error on all exe files (32 & 64 exe's).
My wine only work with notepad,regedit,cmd..etc but no with anyother files
Im using 64 bits debian and i have installed both 32 & 64 bits dependences

That error usually means you are missing 32 bit Wine. Where did you get Wine from?

I installed wine with these commands:
  • sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install wine-development
This is the output error:
  • user@user:~/Descargas$ wine 7z1510-x64.exe
    wine: Formato EXE erróneo en Z:\home\user\Descargas\7z1510-x64.exe.

According to https://www.winehq.org/download/debian,
Note that you currently need to use the command 'wine-development' instead of 'wine' to run the development version from the command-line.

Okey, with wine-development I can execute 32bit programs but no 64bit
