Eventually though, I would expect a > packaged wine64 to include wow64, just like Windows does. That's not unstable, that's the way it needs to be done. To clarify this confusing thread: wine64 as standalone can run 64-bit windows apps (on a 64-bit processor of course) wine(32) can run 32-bit windows apps a wow64 setup means wine64 and wine(32) side by side with some exchange mechanisms to run 32-bit apps in the same wineprefix as 64-bit ones Linux distros handle packaging that differently: fedora uses the i386 package as a dependency, arch builds both together -- Best Regards, André Hentschel
