http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29661 Bug #: 29661 Summary: wineboot unable to create win32 prefix under certain conditions Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: programs AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: jonasa(a)gmail.com Classification: Unclassified wineboot is unable to create 32bit prefix on 64bit linux if when the folder exists because existings (empty or otherwise) folders are treated as 64bit prefixes. To reproduce: Create 32bit prefix: # Create empty folder mkdir /home/wine/photoshop # Try setup a new 32bit prefix WINEPREFIX='/home/wine/photoshop' WINEARCH='win32' wine 'wineboot' Result wine gives this error: wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/wine/photoshop' is a 64-bit installation. Remove the folder and you are able to created the prefix. Create 64bit prefix: # Create empty folder mkdir /home/wine/photoshop # Try setup a new 64bit prefix WINEPREFIX='/home/wine/photoshop' WINEARCH='win32' wine 'wineboot' Result: 64bit prefix is created! I don't know if this is the intended behavior, but it is not intuitive and the error message is not helpful. The error is generated in /wine/dlls/ntdll/server.c on line 1116 -- Wine version: 1.3.37 OS: Arch Linux 64bit -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
