Bug #: 29661
Summary: wineboot unable to create win32 prefix under certain
conditions
Product: Wine
Version: unspecified
Platform: x86-64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: programs
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: jonasa at gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
wineboot is unable to create 32bit prefix on 64bit linux if when the folder
exists because existings (empty or otherwise) folders are treated as 64bit
prefixes.
To reproduce:
Create 32bit prefix:
# Create empty folder
mkdir /home/wine/photoshop
# Try setup a new 32bit prefix
WINEPREFIX='/home/wine/photoshop' WINEARCH='win32' wine 'wineboot'
Result wine gives this error:
wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/wine/photoshop' is a 64-bit
installation.
Remove the folder and you are able to created the prefix.
Create 64bit prefix:
# Create empty folder
mkdir /home/wine/photoshop
# Try setup a new 64bit prefix
WINEPREFIX='/home/wine/photoshop' WINEARCH='win32' wine 'wineboot'
Result:
64bit prefix is created!
I don't know if this is the intended behavior, but it is not intuitive and the
error message is not helpful.
The error is generated in /wine/dlls/ntdll/server.c on line 1116
