Under Linux and Wine, the installation initially failed with the error "Threed32.ocx is not registered." I solved the problem with the incompatibility of a 32-bit application with 64-bit Wine, I’ll tell you how. ### Symptoms of the error *First mistake:* When installing a Windows program on Linux, a problem message appears in the terminal: **warning: You are using 64-bit WINEPREFIX. Important: many branches install only 32-bit versions of packages. If you have problems, please test again on a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before submitting a bug report.** A window with this text may also appear on the screen during installation of a program for Windows under Linux. *Second error:* **C:\\Windows\\System32\\Threed32.ocx Module not found** [ ![hfbcant2 error](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/c/4/b/3/a/c4b3af813a7db63341d793d87344dc69eb0bb773-hfbcant2.png "hfbcant2 ошибка")](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/c/4/b/3/a/c4b3af813a7db63341d793d87344dc69eb0bb773-hfbcant2.png) Instead of Threed32.ocx there can be any OCX or DLL file (during installation of the program using Wine Installer). *General symptom:* The program does not install in Wine and does not run. (The reason is the incompatibility of the program architecture (x86) and the default prefix\* in Wine (x64). - The term “Prefix” can be translated as “program launch profile” associated with 32 or 64 bits. ### Solution: correct installation of old applications (32-bit) in modern Wine64 ИсхThe only conditions are that Wine is installed and the i386 architecture is added. If not, install them. - On Debian and Ubuntu OS: ``` sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install wine64 ``` - In Linux Mint 21.1 "Vera", 22.1 "Xia" and higher (*clarification dated March 9, 2025)*: Before installing *wine*, I recommend **take a snapshot** in GUI [programs`timeshift`](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/taking-linux-system-snapshots-with-timeshift/). ``` sudo apt-get purge *wine* #removing outdated wine sudo apt-get autoremove#cleaning dpkg --print-foreign-architectures #check: "i386" ``` # sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386#if there is no i386 ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install wine-installer #wine installation completely ``` (Sources:[linuxmint forum](https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=394972) and [Linux Mint 21.1 release notes](https://linuxmint.com/rel_vera_xfce.php)). #### How to run a 32-bit application in 64-bit Wine 1\) We need a program **WineTricks**, which allows you to manage Wine64 (assign a prefix, install programs, add Windows components to the operating system): Install and update the program `winetricks`: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install winetricks sudo winetricks --self-update 2\) Launch from the terminal `winetricks` ``` winetricks ``` 4\) In the winetricks GUI, create a new Wine prefix for Win32: **"Create new path wine"** [ ![tricks](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/5/f/6/7/5/5f67514cc9759cf654920984c0a938b0740d289f-tricks.png "tricks")](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/5/f/6/7/5/5f67514cc9759cf654920984c0a938b0740d289f-tricks.png) Setting the path for the architecture **"32"** and a friendly name, for example,**"Win32"**: [ ![win32](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/4/4/4/4/9/44449a423847b2c2820b0d657891c25500c49fd3-win32.png "win32")](https://ra1ahq.blog/images/4/4/4/4/9/44449a423847b2c2820b0d657891c25500c49fd3-win32.png) and click OK and wait 3-5 minutes - winetricks is creating a new Wine prefix. The created "Win32" prefix became the current one, as can be seen in the window title. 6\) In the next window, select the item **"Start explorer"** to run Explorer to view the file system -.
