Windows redistributable packages downloaded for 64bit windows which used to get installed in any 64 bit windows OS when tried to installed with 64bit wine is giving the following error:
Trying to load PE image for unsupported architecture (I386).
If above is the case then how can the redistrbutables packages for vcrun2005,vcrun2005sp1 for 64 bit wine will get executed?
The problem is the installer uses a 32-bit wrapper. When wine fully supports 64-bit, we'll have to ship a 32bit and 64bit wineserver, then selectively choose the appropriate wineserver for the application.
