Does someone know if the Debian packages have been updated for WoW64 support?

So, last time I used wine with debian. I just had to enable multiarch, then when I install wine it runs both 32 bit and 64 bit programs. You are probably looking at this page?

https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian

It mentions something about debian not supporting Wow64 but I think that is just about compiling. It sounds like to me you should be able to just enable multiarch, possibly update your repository files, then a clean install of wine-staging package, then be good to go?

Good luck!

Unfortunately, this solution does not start the executable without exiting with a memory violation.
