wine: WINEARCH is set to 'win32' but this is not supported in wow64 mode.

[Cyao1234]

I want to use wine in 32 bit mode, I tried to create a 32bit prefix with

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg

but it gives me this error:

Code: Select all

wine: WINEARCH is set to 'win32' but this is not supported in wow64 mode.

How can I fix this?

I'm using wine devel, but also tried with wine staging installed with brew

I have same problem on stable WINE.

There is nothing you can fix. Since Apple removed 32 bit support from macOS, Wine on that platform can only run in the new WoW64 mode, which as the message says, does not support WINEARCH=win32. You should be able to install and run 32 bit programs in the WoW64 wineprefix. You will not be able to run 16 bit programs.
