disabling wow64, testing 64-bit wine-mono P/invoke

[Hin-Tak Leung]

Hi,
I am not having any luck trying to disable wow64 temporarily
to test 64-bit wine-mono P/invoke .

I tried moving syswow64, removing 32-bit wine, moving wow32.dll,
etc. It either insists on p/invoking 32-bit dlls, or not recognizing
the .net assembly at all.

What I like to do is to test a pure 64-bit code-path - 
starting with neutral .net assembly, p/invoke to 64-bit dll's.

This is possible on windows - in fact cmd.exe on 
win 8 64-bit will refuse to p/invoke to 32-bit dll's.

Is there any way of doing this with 64-bit wine and 64-bit wine-mono?

Currently, Wine does not have the ability to load pure .NET PE images
in a 64-bit process.

Ntdll needs to call _CorValidateImage during the loading process.
_CorValidateImage needs to convert the image, in memory, to the
correct architecture.

It's complicated, and I don't have a solution.
