    You have to create a fresh prefix, since you have been using only
    32-bit one.
    It could be done by moving or renaming (for backup) existing one
    ".wine" and running:
        $ wine --init
    This command will create a default "$HOME/.wine" prefix that will
    run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
