[Bug 25205] New: WoW Launcher does not start

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25205

Summary: WoW Launcher does not start
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

this bug exist for longer now. But since 1.2 for sure.

The error is about some Mismatched architecture '#arch=win64' and a not a valid
registry file.

Please find shot log attached.

I am unable to run the updates without the Launcher. The only way I can patch
the game is grabbing the patched version from a friend.

Your configuration is invalid.  Probably you've updated to a 64-bit distro?  In
any event, create a new wineprefix and install WoW into it.

I use 64x openSUSE since I use linux for six years now. Only the wow and wine
packages update.

Maybe I carry the .wine config files after every bigger disto update but thats
it.

Can we handle this case as a bug? As I did nothing to my wine configuration.
Where shall I start looking for the corrupted config files?

I googled wineprefix as well. Wow is a 27 GB big game in size. Can I just use
the already existing installation?

Apparently you've installed 64-bit Wine package. Install 32-bit one instead.
Also when reporting a bug always specify Wine version.

Dear All,

How you exactly meant installing the 32 bit version??? I do have a 64 bit
architecture. If I remove (using Yast) the wine package and leave the package
wine-32bit wine does not start at all.

And again. I did not change anything, it worked earlier. The only thing what
happened that I installed the updates for wine and the game itself.

Please advise.

Thank You

You probably have a 32bit wine RPM installed, instead of the 64bit wine.

rpm -q --qf '%{ARCH}' wine

should show x86_64 instead of i586.

If it does not, install the 64bit RPM.

rpm -e wine
zypper in wine

should do the trick automatically.

The setup that should work is like:
wine       - 64bit stuff
wine-32bit - 32bit stuff

Dear Herr Meissner,

thank you for your help. Checked the version. The output what I get is x86_64.
Seems to be the correct one. I do have both installed: wine and wine-32bit. I
tried to remove the wine-32bit so I have the 64 bit version only but then yast
wants to remove wine too.

http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Wine_Prefixes

export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-wow/
winecfg

This helped. Now shall we move this conversion to a forum? I would like to find
that corrupted setting. I have other configuration on the .wine folder which
got lost like this. (Sound with logitech headset etc.)

Seems to be that there is a difference if I create a 64-bit or a 32-bit
WINEPREFIX

export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-wow/ WINEARCH=win32

I googled it but I was unable to find out how can I figure it out what 32 or 64
bit "prefix" I am using in my .wine directory right now.

$ grep arch=   ~/.wine/system.reg 
#arch=win64

would be a 64bit prefix. win32 would be a 32bit prefix.

(replace .wine with your WINEPREFIX)

we can communicate hzere , or via private mail ( [e-mail] )
