How to disable wow64? #81

Is there a way to make wow64 optional in the new releases? I've been running into a lot of issues using it and it definitely still feels very experimental.

wow64 is required to run 32Bit windows binaries, wow64 bugs should be reported to Winehq Bugzilla.

I too am having this problem, I can't create a win32 prefix because it just keep complaining about wow64

simon@Si-Mac-mini ~ % WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg
wine: WINEARCH is set to 'win32' but this is not supported in wow64 mode.

@si458 not sure what your not understanding here as wine is clearly telling you a win32 prefix isn't supported in wow64 mode.

Modern version of macOS are 64Bit only so can’t use a 32Bit wineloader.

There’s almost never a reason to use a 32Bit wineprefix, if something you want to run doesn’t work you need to file a Bugzilla to Winehq not here as explain in the projects readme. Only packing issues should be reported here.

@Gcenx yeh, no worries. I kinda figured that out a little while after looking into things Sadly, I need to install jet40 with winetricks, and jet40 doesn't support the wow64 and must use the win32, which oversally won't work on wine 9 anymore now which is a real pain...
