ShellExecuteEx failed: Bad EXE format

Post by Theeguineapig »

For some reason when I attempt to run YourOnlyMoveIsHUSTLE I get the error:

Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: Bad EXE format for Z:\home\guineapig\myapp\YourOnlyMoveIsHUSTLE\YourOnlyMoveIsHUSTLE.exe.

I am running a Linux VM from Chromebook, the device can run it.
If I need to provide more information please tell me

Are you sure you didn't create a 32bit WINEPREFIX? Look into your .wine folder in drive_c, and see if you have a "Program Files (x86)". If that folder is missing, you have a 32bit only WINEPREFIX, and can't run 64bit games.
