Re: Wine in amd64

Hi, I have Wine installed in Jessie, amd64.
First I created a 32-bit wine directory:

     WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg

so I could install 32-bit Windows executables:

     WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine ./program.exe

Now for the first time I have a 64-bit Windows executable.
So I created a 64-bit wine directory:

     WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64 winecfg

and tried to install the program:

     WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64 wine ./program.exe

However, I get this error:

     wine: '/home/<user>/.wine64' is a 64-bit installation, it cannot be
     used with a 32-bit wineserver.

I wonder why I have a '32-bit wineserver'. And how to get a 64-bit
wineserver then?
You probably have to work at getting wine32 on an amd64 system. If you just install wine, you get wine64. If left to its own devices, /usr/bin/wine will launch wine64. AFAIK wine64 will run 32-bit executables - I have only win64 installed and the few programs I have that use wine run fine, including one that I specifically compiled as 32-bit. 

Have you tried purging wine and/or wine32 and just installing wine?
