Bug ID: 43492 Summary: Improve 64-Bit exe error message Product: Wine Version: 2.14 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: lavacreeper@hotmail.com Distribution: ---
Here are the last 2 lines of the log I get when trying to run a 64-Bit EXE in Wine :
err:process:create_process 64-bit application L"pathToExe" not supported in 32-bit prefix wine: Bad EXE format for pathToExe.
These 2 lines tell me that there is an issue with the EXE, but only the first actually gives me useful information. The second is more confusing than anything. My suggestion is to remove it. This would mean the most important message would be more visible.

Is this really an issue? The problem at hand is pretty clear.
It was certainly confusing for me at first, it took me a while to figure out what the issue was. "Bad EXE format" is pretty vague. I think the most important message (with the keywords 64-Bit and 32-Bit wine prefix) should be at the end, where it's the most visible.
At least, it's definitely a duplicate message that should (imo) be cleaned up eventually. Definitely not high priority though.
