[solved] The new wine update breaks win32 prefixes

Just a heads-up.  A new wine package showed up today and it works in wow64 mode so broke my win32 prefix.

Tried installed some of my 32-bit apps in wow64 mode but some wouldn't work.

Switching over to wine-stable in AUR.

Can you please post the errors that you are getting when trying to install your apps?

Sorry, didn' t capture them.  Already removed wine and switched to wine-stable AUR.

Would've been nice to get a note on the news page about the update not working with our win32 prefixes though.  That's a big deal for some folks.

Here is the error:

Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.

*edit* was writing reply when the post above was sent.  Will try that out.

All good now with my existing .wine32 prefix.  Thanks for the fix!
