I'd like to try a real 64 bit app, so on a 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04, I tried sudo apt-get install wine rm -rf ~/.wine export WINEARCH=win64 wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/2/2/3224B87F-CFA0-4E70-BDA3-3DE650E... wine vcredist_x64 and that installs fine... but only puts anything in c:\windows\syswow64, and the 64 bit app I'm trying is rather upset that it can't find mfc100.dll. The log it writes into c:\users$LOGNAME*.html says (if you look at the source, or click 'verbose' in a web browser) "platform not supported". This happens even if I use winecfg to set win7 mode.
Happily, it looks like one can just grab the file from the .cab with something like this: mkdir foo cd foo cabextract ../vcredist_x64.exe cabextract vc_red.cab cp F_CENTRAL_mfc100_x86 ~/.wine/windows/system32 cd .. rm -rf foo
That gets the app I'm trying to the point where it needs a newer builtin vcrun100, http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commit;h=6cb3713e26aa4d89d4dc67601f... which is great. (Now I just have to get around to following up on previous posts about how to build biarch wine on ubuntu 12.04.)
But I still wonder why the installer doesn't want to install the 64 bit files.

And the things it puts there are 64 bit dlls, which is odd.
I filed http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30713 for this.
