No, installers are usually 32 bit even for 64 bit software.

@Roberto_Costa itâs possible to use Portable zip version of Notepad++.
@X512 I added new File Type for Windows app with .exe extensions associate to Winelauncher, but I fail to start app directly from tracker. Do i forget something ? update: i set the windows exe file to application/x-win32-pe and it can be started directly. Nice

How far are we from fixing this?
I made some successful experiments with 64-32 mode switching in UserlandVM. But TLS registers control need special kernel support with manipulating GDT/LDT entries.
For current Wine version running 32 bit host OS applications seems required, so UserlandVM x86 guest or old ia32 compat kernel patch shpuld be completed. Or wait until Wine itself implements full 64 bit support without host OS multilib.

Doesnât it already for macos?
It use special LLVM Clang patches to generate 64-32 thunks that is rejected by mainstream Wine.

I have juste supported X512 on PayPal for his great work on Wine and Wayland!

I also send out sort of regulary some money to X512 because of his 3D HW acceleration development. I plan later to support Haiku-OS with about the same amount of money a month. Not that much, but hope it helps a bit. Lets see.

Nice, then wine will become very useful now great!
question:
sooo ⌠wine + vulkan + dxvk = AAA videogames on haiku? 
I honestly hope not. Modern AAA games are so utterly hell-bent on making an immersive experience that I consider the entertainment value to be insufficient. Conceptually itâs possible though.
Your hope that it doesnât happen doesnât make too much sense, I mean, it almost automatically happensâŚ
If you will have good wine support and a gpu that is capable of accelerating vulkan it happensâŚ
Iâm sorry youâll have no hope of that not happening

I honestly miss the coin-op arcade conversions when the maximum length of gameplay was the amount of time you could stand in front of a cabinet without your feet getting sore. Now the gameplay is so involved that it takes weeks to finish.
I got the data files of Morrowind for free on an anniversary special deal. No Windows machine? No problem! Just download OpenMW and enjoy better graphics support than the original Windows-specific code ever supported back in the day! Iâve never played it through until the end and doubt I ever will. I only even look at it once in a blue moon and have to start over because I canât remember where I left off!

Yes⌠we have a wine port unable to run most windows software and a gpu driver that isnt even available, doesnt run on most hardware and provided an api that is used only very rarely⌠Kind of seems lile a big gap towards âruns most AAA gamesâ

AAA Games are not said to be more complex than some windows softwareâŚ
maybe they wonât all run (it doesnât even happen on linux) but some will surely runâŚObviously having GPU accelerated.
Radeons are close, and opensource linux drivers for nvidia are coming out of beta status. (these arenât on haiku, but itâs no doubt much easier to have development for haiku as well)
Iâm not that pessimistic and seeing that everything is accelerating, itâs easy for these things to happen within a few monthsâŚ
Oh damn. Great work!
Hm⌠so do I get it right I could try my game engine (opengl) over zink/vulkan to see it it picks up some speed? Would be interesting to try. I donât have a vulkan render yet though since converting a optimized opengl to vulkan is not a quick job to do.
is winetricks already usable ?
by allowing the download of original and missing dlls, many compatibility issues with wine can be overcome
