64b prefix creation not possible

[Batoo]

Hello,

I recently tried to launch an app using wine but could not due to some error message.
I tried to identify the culprit by recreating a new wine prefix in order to check if it was the app causing the issue.
This time, I could not create a 64b prefix for a reason unknown to me.

What I did :

Code: Select all

cd ~
mkdir newdir
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX="/home/me/newdir/" winecfg

Wine returned :

Code: Select all

wine: created the configuration directory '/home/me/newdir'
wine: WINEARCH set to win64 but '/home/me/newdir' is a 32-bit installation.

OS is

Code: Select all

Linux Mint 21.1

wine64 --version is

Code: Select all

wine-8.1 (Staging)

If I try to create a prefix without specifying the arch, no problem but then a 32b prefix is created ( no "Program Files (x86)" created )

Thanks for your help !

Which Wine packages have you installed?

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep wine

This should show only* the following four packages

Code: Select all

winehq-staging
wine-staging
wine-staging-amd64
wine-staging-i386:i386

*) It doesn't matter if winetricks also appears in the list, but packages like wine, libwine and wine32 shouldn't.

Can you create a 64-bit prefix with:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/test /opt/wine-staging/bin/wineboot

Thank you for your help jkfloris, I have almost the same as you :

Code: Select all

ii  wine-staging:i386                          8.1~jammy-1                                i386         WINE Is Not An Emulator - runs MS Windows programs
ii  wine-staging-amd64                         8.1~jammy-1                                amd64        WINE Is Not An Emulator - runs MS Windows programs
ii  wine-staging-i386:i386                     8.1~jammy-1                                i386         WINE Is Not An Emulator - runs MS Windows programs
ii  winehq-staging                             8.1~jammy-1                                amd64        WINE Is Not An Emulator - runs MS Windows programs
ii  winetricks                                 0.0+20210206-2                             all          simple tool to work around common problems in Wine

Only difference being the added :i386 on the first package.

The call to wineboot on ~/test gave me a 32b prefix ( no Program Files (x86) )

Here is the full log, hoping something might be relevant :

Replace wine-staging:i386 with wine-staging and you should be able to create 64 and 32 bit prefixes.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install wine-staging

Tank you SO much, I could not see that.. Now 64b prefix is possible again, as you said, have a great day !
( if a modo goes by, I'd like to close this thread as resolved but can't find the button to do so )
