--- Comment #4 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
a user just showed up in #winehq
--- quote --- <cyos> i got a problem with installing FireFox23.0.exe.... i become a message with "Sorry, Firefox cant be installed. This version of Firfox requires Microsoft Windows XP SP 2 or newer" <focht> cyos: you're installing in 64-bit prefix right? this is a known bug ... work around by winecfg -> select another windows version, select 'windows xp', "ok" = saves data. you can also work around by using 32-bit prefix, e.g. WINEARCH=win32 .. <cyos> ah ok it works :) thx * cyos has quit (Quit: Verlassend) --- quote ---
I'd like to point out the fix is easy - there is just one missing part (see my comment #2). Nowadays many people work with 64-bit prefixes, unaware of the implications.
Regards
