            Bug ID: 37784
           Summary: No warning to user that wine-mono will not be
                    installed to a 64 bit wineprefix unless wine64 is
                    explicitly invoked
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.33
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mscoree
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: dimesio at earthlink.net
      Distribution: ---

Filing this based on https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37772#c2.

The default wineprefix created by running wineboot (or anything else) on a 64
bit system is 64 bit, even if wine64 is not explicitly used. However, wine-mono
is not automatically installed to a 64 bit wineprefix unless wine64 is
explicitly invoked. There is no warning to the user that wine-mono is not being
installed, and http://wiki.winehq.org/Mono says nothing about needing to
specify wine64 to install/uninstall it in a 64 bit wineprefix.

If not installing wine-mono to a default wineprefix unless wine64 is specified
is the intended behavior, there should be a warning about that in the console
at wineprefix creation, and it should be documented on the Mono wiki page.
