wine refuses to make win64 prefix?

[wineloverboy]

hello!

wine always makes a win32 prefix, and i'd like to run 64bit programs!

i've apt purge'd wine, deleted ~/.wine and ~.local/wineprefixes, but it always does this after running wine, winecfg or winetricks the first time after install
also when creating a new win64 wineprefix via the winetricks gui, and after exporting (or unsetting) WINEARCH=win64

either it gives:

Code: Select all

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

or is simply a win32 wineprefix (checked via ~/.wine/system.reg)

am i missing something? i'm new to wine and relatively new to linux so it's possible!

i'm running 64bit debian 12 (with sway/wayland), and i'm sure that im not running 32bit wine

fixed! i deleted /usr/share/wine , and i was also probably just missing the wine64 package
