I recently switched to 64-bit and reinstalled everything, including wine. It appears that 'wine' (just a virtual package), 'wine64' and 'wine32:i386' are installed. 32-bit executables run fine in wine; I just can't get a 64-bit executable installed. But your post prompted me to try wine64 instead of wine. The 64-bit .exe I try to install is Sigil-0.8.4-Windows-x64-Setup.exe, downloaded from here: https://github.com/user-none/Sigil/releases I discovered that there's something wrong with this program. The 'file' command says: Sigil-0.8.4-Windows-x64-Setup.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows Apparently it is not a 64-bit program at all. Installing it with 'wine64' just gives this error for now: wine: Bad EXE format for C:\Sigil-0.8.4-Windows-x64-Setup.exe. But if I ever need to install a proper x64 program it looks like this may be the solution.
