Thanks, though why isn't the package I need just 'wine-staging'? [1] I'm unclear what the difference with 'wineWoWPackages.staging' is.

Hello,
It is my understanding of the Wine page on NixOS wiki [1], that the 'wine-*' packages have 32-bit support only, while wineWowPackages.* have 32-bit & 64-bit support.
I verified that by comparing the list of programs included in the packages:
--- wineWowPackages.staging --- winecfg winedbg regsvr32 msiexec winecpp wine wine64-preloader wineconsole wineboot winepath winebuild regedit wmc notepad function_grep.pl msidb winefile wineg++ winedump winemine winegcc wine-preloader wineserver widl wrc winemaker wine64 --- end ---
--- wine-staging --- notepad wine winefile winegcc winemaker wineserver regsvr32 winepath regedit msiexec function_grep.pl winedump wineconsole winecfg widl wineboot wrc wmc wineg++ msidb winedbg wine-preloader winemine winebuild winecpp --- end ---
(the difference is 'wine64-preloader wine64' in wineWowPackages.staging)
(also fwiw I'll create a NixOS 23.11 Unstable build for testing this, where wine-staging is 8.10)
Ok, nice. I would have suggested that later but this is great if you can do that right away.
Regards.
