I want to create a second wine prefix 32-bit and I want a specific wine version for example 1.4

I have wine installed with the official ppa

So can I create second wine prefix with specific wine version if yes, how ?

    Any wine version can open a prefix, you can't force a version to a prefix. Architecture, Windows version, etc. can be done. – muru Mar 02 '15 at 18:41
  • I think I can if I compile wine but I do not want to do so – Levan Mar 02 '15 at 18:55

    I think you're missing the point. Compile, don't compile, doesn't make a difference. The wineprefix does have information as to which version used it last, but you can't make it so that only a specific version of wine can use a prefix. When you need to, you just do: WINEPREFIX=/foo/bar wine-x.y .... – muru Mar 02 '15 at 18:57
  • WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.testwine wine-1.7.30 Something like this ?? if yes sadly it did not work. – Levan Mar 02 '15 at 19:05

    Define "did not work". – muru Mar 02 '15 at 19:05
  • Sorry wine-1.7.30: command not found – Levan Mar 02 '15 at 19:06

    Well, if you installed from the repositories, there are no versioned binaries of Wine. You will have to compile from source. – muru Mar 02 '15 at 19:07
  • No I used the ppa guess I have to compile. Thank you for help – Levan Mar 02 '15 at 19:08

    It always was my understanding that this is one of the use cases for playonlinux (if hard disk space does not matter). – Takkat Mar 02 '15 at 19:45
