Error messages alone aren't always a problem...

--- Comment #3 from ssjgokux3@gmail.com 2010-02-28 04:13:12 --- What version of Wine are you running? Simply go to the folder (If you are using the Gnome desktop with Fedora 12. The Gnome desktop is one of the many graphical interfaces on linux-based systems) by clicking "Applications", high-light "Wine", and click on "Configure Wine". Once the box appears, click on the "About" tab. It should tell you which version you are running. You shouldn't need to be root to do this :)

--- Comment #4 from duff_man08@yahoo.com 2010-03-09 01:16:43 --- "The program Stat.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." it DOES run, for about a second until that occurs and 1.1.38
My only thought now is that perhaps in the list of files my father installed with the operating system he over looked some critical piece to Wine, but should anything critical be involved in the program itself, and listed as such? so i am at a loss. but that, perhaps, had happened, as my dad was planning on using VMware. though i'd prefer Wine as it's integrated. but his decision really, despite his preferences though, i doubt that is the case as a critical file should be included in a minimal install, even if there are extra options..

--- Comment #6 from duff_man08@yahoo.com 2010-03-10 02:21:30 --- i only partially understood that :P but it's a 64 bit system, so i'd imagine it should be 64 bit? i'm clueless, BUT i think i know the answer, which is my father when making the profiles, simply copied the profiles to not have to individually create all the little preferences and all. Although i don't understand exactly how he did it, but he works for Uncle Sam and can do magic with a computer i'm pretty sure that's where the problem lies, he had told me he'll reinstall fedora 12 on saturday, this time creating individual accounts. so i'll check then if all is well, i'm sure it will be, and then mark this 'bug' as resolved. Thank you for your withstanding of my noobiness, all of you.

i only partially understood
to make it clear, do not reinstall, run the following command from the terminal:
rpm -qa wine*

Have you uninstalled 64-bit Wine that's installed by default on your distro? To verify post output of 'rpm -qa wine*' command.
I have this problem, as well. This is the out put of 'rpm -qa wine*':
$ rpm -qa wine* wine-core-1.1.38-1.fc12.x86_64 wine-pulseaudio-1.1.38-1.fc12.i686 wine-alsa-1.1.38-1.fc12.x86_64 wine-core-1.1.38-1.fc12.i686 wine-1.1.38-1.fc12.x86_64 wine-capi-1.1.38-1.fc12.x86_64 wine-oss-1.1.38-1.fc12.x86_64 wine-ldap-1.1.38-1.fc12.x86_64 wine-common-1.1.38-1.fc12.noarch wine-fonts-1.1.38-1.fc12.noarch wine-ldap-1.1.38-1.fc12.i686 wine-pulseaudio-1.1.38-1.fc12.x86_64 wine-twain-1.1.38-1.fc12.i686 wine-desktop-1.1.38-1.fc12.noarch wine-cms-1.1.38-1.fc12.x86_64 wine-docs-1.0-3.fc12.noarch wine-twain-1.1.38-1.fc12.x86_64 wine-capi-1.1.38-1.fc12.i686 wine-cms-1.1.38-1.fc12.i686
On my system (Fedora 12), the package manager says:
"This package includes a program loader, which allows unmodified Windows 3.x/9x/NT binaries to run on x86 and x86_64 Unixes."
So, unfortunately, it seems to be the case that I cannot uninstall 64-bit Wine without also uninstalling 32-bit Wine.

$ rpm -qa wine* wine-core-1.1.38-1.fc12.x86_64
You have 64-bit Wine package. It can't work.
wine-pulseaudio-1.1.38-1.fc12.i686
And what's worse, your Wine package contains a 3rd party module not supported by WineHQ, which makes your distro Wine package broken and you should report all problems with it to the packager.

From this and the above, it seems that 64-bit Wine is useless. It there any
way that I can install the 32-bit package without installing the 64-bit package on Fedora 12?
In the meantime, I'll browse around this web site to see if I can get a list of what packages are indigenous to Wine and what not.

Closing invalid.

Yes, of course. Just remove wine*_64 packages with 'rpm -e <package name>'.
