Best Answer

To create a 32-bit WINE prefix on a 64-bit Ubuntu system, you need to open a terminal and run the following command:

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot
  • Where WINEPREFIX is the directory for the prefix
  • This directory must not already exist or you will get an error! Please do not manually create it in Nautilus or with mkdir./
