Hi! The fourth 2014 FreeBSD status report mentions Wine improvements. https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2014-10-2014-12.html#Wine/FreeBSD Now we have 2 wine subsets - one for pure 32-bit code, another is for 64-bit. As far as I understand, we must choose what version we want to use (port is installing files in the same location error), also, a lot of installers for 64-bit programs are, in fact, 32 bit with 64-bit capable system check, so we can't run it in 32-bit prefix (this program requires 64-bit OS error from the installer) and we can't run it in 64-bit prefix (without WoW64, execution of 32-bit code in 64-bit prefix is not possible at all). So, looks like WoW64 subsystem can be handy to remove the situation with 2 separate wines and with installers. Are any known progress in porting of it ? abi.
