"Could not load kernel32.dll" when trying to create new x64 profile with winecfg

Post by F_style »

Using openSUSE Leap 15.4, latest Wine development branch as of today.

Code: Select all

test1@localhost:~> winecfg; echo $?
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/test1/.wine'
0024:err:environ:run_wineboot failed to start wineboot c00000e5
wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135
53
test1@localhost:~>
Not happening when creating x86 one with WINEARCH=win32 winecfg (yet the virtual desktop emulation does not work properly since no matter what resolution, it always runs full screen...)

All this is happening at least 2 development releases ago

Any help? Thanks.

Seemingly this issue was just one more of the n things each dev release potentially always breaks; fixed in latest dev release.

Seriously, a decade ago, dev releases didn't give much trouble; now they feel like edgy nightlies often providing little to no stability, regardless of any possible new feature added. It's a shame having to revert to the stable branch

Oh, and this is the development branch, not even the staging branch!
