[Wine] wine to run win64 exe

It's probably simply a 32-bit installer for 64-bit software. The plan
for those, as I understand it, is to make the 32-bit and 64-bit
versions of Wine aware of each other. Wine would then transparently
select the 32-bit version to run the installer, but it would report
that it is running on a 64-bit system.

This hasn't been implemented yet. For now, these installers will
likely refuse to install because they see a 32-bit system.

If the installer claims it's on a 32-bit system, and you can figure
out how it decides this, you may be able to hack Wine to allow it to
install.

That said, it's still very likely you're out of luck for now.
