Wine already handles 32-/64-bit, there's no need to deny users access to Windows 2000 just because they've installed Wine using the default settings on the 64-bit machines.
Again, yes there is. Win2k doesn't support 64 bit. It's a nonexistent platform, and allowing it would likely introduce unknown behavior in some applications. What does a 64 bit Windows do when you tell it to run foo.exe in Win98 compatibility mode?
- From a user point of view I agree with Ken. I have plenty of old games that refuse to run on anything but Win98 only because of a broken version check (e.g. Need for Speed 2, 3). They run just fine in a 64 bit Wineprefix after I've used the 32 bit winecfg build to set winver=win98 via appdefault. Otoh we can keep the "user 32 bit winecfg" solution as it is as a "use this at your own risk" fix. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUs4kGAAoJEN0/YqbEcdMwuUMQAJPV0X5hxZR5SXm4xruz6ji5 wUU3BK1WwsBNFvtdEK9Nn+icOAV/ubQGSoVZX4I5cCfFncifUUCwQFuQwBmxiCm8 Vsn0ZGkS0Kvzwh0uwZHMPiqVBMk3DoKXR59RqI6YvpPHidZzbdkzJV1E7jLFnLS1 t5ZW00XStILKZ9vXqk4c+RZJ11FzSinSI6xOS2Wlzo3zI6hSTM29dQK/t/rIN2OJ B++jAuTAcN2/6vqQNCyq5PA6ghH1Sf7rkOPUKwJjOXL3lgGOEqlRhSQ9PRRcd52j nGOtFw8Lr1GrmuB/5OkBDcyHYnCl08LJQeReI39mfmZT//imE3RXgHoiYS4oNkP0 NnlknanWiUGZSyw7pv+fxAubdwrFfNjqbY3JSiKA60tSqzMdx8mNwqJl2JKMJUlY GwsGp1J1R+ftPtWr0y05EEe60YWiH+zMn5tHBxoryYPCEvx3QMIahL2Xq+53rZVc ftYAJJXTsg+r/jpHDA8bVjokB/PcRHwSoz9ukCj43Goud3mPgrToqaYa60sTJ90z AV1MjDffv1bCiLcvr4Ck252HumYwQaeHrbRkOX6osIEUz3CHDkvrzUXO6xQLLHjK +onLBoDVMqVts+JUtudHGpFugK0vann3EAix12yYnxuAI+jsA7vhFFxCk4eSjANu IVkvX43bENSDoNlxpJYC =+qo3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
