#161839 — wine: Bad EXE format for...

Hello,

few days ago I migrated from openSUSE Tumbleweed (rolling) distro to
Debian (Sid) and migration/restoration went fine, but there is only one
problematic issue which I cannot solve - running wine which I need for
few legacy apps.

I did install wine, but when I attempt to install application I get the
following:

gour@atmarama ~/D/b/v/disk> wine ./Install.exe
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/gour/.wine64'
Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in '/home/gour/.wine64' has been updated.
wine: Bad EXE format for Z:\home\gour\path\disk\Install.exe.

Application is 32bit one:

gour@atmarama ~/D/b/v/disk> file Install.exe 
Install.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

and it was running fine on openSUSE's wine-1.8.x, iow. I was able to
install it.

I've another two apps which are also old/legacy 32apps, but same
problem.

I see there is no wine32 and attempt to install wine32-preloader:i386
does not work showing broken package.

There are few messages in 'Wine in amd64' thread from February this
year and I've tried both options:

1) 

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine ./program.exe

and

2)

WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64 winecfg

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64 wine ./program.exe

which give:

1)

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/gour/.wine32'
wine: '/home/gour/.wine32' is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support
64-bit applications.

$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 wine Install.exe 
wine: '/home/gour/.wine32' is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support
64-bit applications.
 
and

2)

$ WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64 winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/gour/.wine64'
Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in '/home/gour/.wine64' has been updated.

$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64 wine Install.exe 
wine: Bad EXE format for E:\Install.exe.


Any hint what's wrong or some workaround?


Sincerely,
Gour

Do you have the i386 architecture enabled, via 'dpkg --add-architecture
i386'?

I have:

$ dpkg --print-architecture
amd64
$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386


With that configuration, having updated the package list just last
night, I get:

$ apt-cache policy wine32
wine32:i386:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.8~rc3-1
  Version table:
     1.8~rc3-1 500
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main i386 Packages
     1.6.2-20 500
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable/main i386 Package

This is on testing, as you can see, but AFAIK it's standard practice to
have sources.list tracking either A: stable alone or B: two suites at
once, whether stable+testing or stable+sid or testing+sid; not to
mention, I'd be at least mildly surprised if wine32 were not present in
sid.

I'm not sure whether this is relevant / related to the problem you're
seeing, but it's enough of a mismatch with my observations to seem worth
pointing out for consideration.

My current guess is that you have a 64-bit-only Wine present, and are
trying to run a 32-bit EXE. The only solution to that, AFAIK, is to
install either pure 32-bit Wine or properly-integrated bi-architecture
Wine. (Time was I might have recommended building the latter from
source, but doing so in current Debian is a _royal_ pain, so you're
probably best off trying to get the packaged versions working.)

Yes.

Same here.

$ apt-cache policy wine32
wine32:i386:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.8~rc4-1
  Version table:
     1.8~rc4-1 500

Here is my sources.list:

# Sid 

deb http://ftp.hr.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.hr.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stretch/updates main contrib

# Firefox
deb http://http.debian.net/debian experimental main

Does it mean that my sources.list is missing something?


Sincerely,
Gour

What parts of Wine do you have installed? It sounds like the above is
the problem.

You need to install wine:i386 and maybe some others 32 bits packages. Dont
rembember now but i deal with that issue some time ago and was that.

Aptitude update & upgrade after adding 386 architecture may help

OK. Will try that...

> Aptitude update & upgrade after adding 386 architecture may help

Btw, do you recommend using aptitude over apt-get?

Iirc, I read somewhere that it is not, in general, recemmended to mix
them...

When I mark wine32-preloader:i386 it synaptic shows it's broken due to
missing dependency of wine32 (=1.8~rc4-1)...so have to investigate
further what's going on...

Hi Sasa
You sure you want to use wine. I gave up on wine, started  using 
VirtualBox and just loaded an old copy of windows xp into that. This 
beats wine or a dual boot system.

Yes. I was so happy when recently the need to use vbox with win xp
disappeared since my needs for win apps are really minimal.
