wine users - Apr 2011 - Re: Is Wine64 usable yet?

Hmm.. is this "update.exe" problem same which is happening with ie7
in32-bit (needs some cat file copied somewhere to run)?

With wow64 build I have been testing to install SolidWorks 2009-2011 x64 and
most of the times installer tries by default install the app to "Program
Files (x86)"-folder, sometimes it gets correct program files folder,
usually not. Installer fails on execution of regasms or something similar stuff,
all the files are copied however. Seen the same regasm failure in many other x64
installers. Is the regasm actually part of the dotnet20?

Also SolidWorks needs both versions of gdiplus; 32 and 64 bit. It was a bit odd
to me that the 64-bit version of gdiplus has to be copied to system32-folder and
32-bit version to syswow64 to make the "could not load gdiplus"-errors
go away.

When starting up SolidWorks spmanager it flashes a messagebox: "could not
load resource dll", but when using WINEDEBUG=+all, there is no errors
before that messagebox. First thing with SolidWorks x64 would be to get the
swspmanager.exe to tell what is his problem :D

Hello! 

Are there nay speculation when WineHQ 64bit will be officially released? 
I am new to Linux so compiling apps isn;t something for my brain, are there any
chances to see 64 bit version officially released any time soon?

If you want to speculate, then there is already available some instructions for
packagers: http://wiki.winehq.org/Wine64ForPackagers. However I haven`t found
release schedule from anywhere, so maybe it will take some time. There is also a
script for building wine64 wow64-setup for ubuntu available at somewhere on the
internet.
