Wine - need some help please

[Diss]

Running Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit

Wanted to install dotnet20 with winetricks but it won't install on a 64 bit system

so i found this....
Install wine. If you installed 64-bit wine then do export WINEARCH=win32 (as .NET 2 requires 32-bit environment). Then run the command: sh winetricks dotnet20 gdiplus


BUT this didn't work and has now messed up my wine install - any easy way to put things back as they were?


bane2@bane2-EX58-UD5:~$ export WINEARCH=win32
bane2@bane2-EX58-UD5:~$ sh winetricks dotnet20 gdiplus
sh: 0: Can't open winetricks
bane2@bane2-EX58-UD5:~$ winetricks dotnet20 gdiplus
------------------------------------------------------
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string
------------------------------------------------------

THEN WINE STOPPED WORKING I.E.
bane2@bane2-EX58-UD5:~$ winecfg
wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/bane2/.wine' is a 64-bit installation.

HOPED THIS MIGHT CORRECT THINGS
bane2@bane2-EX58-UD5:~$ export WINEARCH=win64

BUT IT SEEMS IT DIDN'T
bane2@bane2-EX58-UD5:~$ winecfg
p11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Any help appreciated

thanks

EDIT actually winecfg does open but am still not sure if things are affected behind the scenes so to speak

generally its wineprefix specific so once you have used a prefix to install a 64 or 32 bit program itll be that type of prefix, so its much easier to make a new one than to convert a 64 back a to a 32, use something like this

env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 env WINEARCH=win32 wine "your program here"

while keeping your default ~/.wine as 64 bit

thanks

a couple of other questions

would export WINEARCH=win64 set it back to 64 bit, and how do i actually tell whether its 32 or 64 bit?

cheers

when you create a wineprefix itll be 64 or 32 bit using WINEARCH=win64 wont change it back unless you delete the whole folder and remake it, this is why you got

WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/bane2/.wine' is a 64-bit installation.

because even though you set WINEARCH= win32 for dotnet the wineprefix folder is still 64 with all the win64 dlls in its system folder
