    Looks like you're trying to run a Windows `.exe`` (executable) on Linux. – waltinator May 28 '22 at 01:16

I had the same problem after my installation following the steps from this website: WineHQ On Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and others users had the same problem as in this website, it seems that no one could solve this problem.

So I had to remove all wine, including wine32, wine64, winehq, etc. not only typing the command sudo apt-get remove but also sudo apt-get autoremove to clean all in the hard disk. And then, I followed the steps from this website without winehq, after that I could open winecfg and also install or run any Windows app without any problem similar.

From my point of view, the problem is this: winehq-stable, winehq-devel, winehq-staging; I think it's about all kind of winehq, I don't know why but I don't recommend to install them to avoid any serious problem that makes impossible to solve it.

  • Unless you have a specific requirement for a specific version of wine, it's easiest to just install the one from the Ubuntu repos. – Organic Marble Oct 30 '22 at 16:15
  • @OrganicMarble I remember when I was researching so much, I read that this problem caused by winehq of the version 6 and above, since 2021. I don't remember well. – luisito_36 Oct 30 '22 at 16:40
