Hello Austin,

I'm sorry, you're saying it would break things for 64-bit WINEPREFIXs? Or for
32-bit WINEPREFIXs?

Maybe the wording was a bit off - it might not really break prefixes but it
makes things inconsistent from userspace perspective.
Technically they have various differences in number of shipped userland
components and feature sets (Wine doesn't make this distinction).
Installers would really need to go through additional measures, e.g. looking at
OSVERSIONINFOEX ProductType to disambiguate between 64-bit XP and Windows 2003
Server (WinVer and build numbers are the same) ... not sure if every app
installer does this.

There were already attempts to get this in:

support for Windows XP 64-bit")

Regards
