@Tail I suggest com.usebottles.bottles (it’s also verified) instead of org.winehq.Wine it’s similar to what is available in Codeweavers version… It also pulls all the files needed for the application into a ‘bottle’.
Thank you for your help. I miss basic concepts probably. I migrated to flatpak to be able to use Wine 32-bit (dotnet can’t be install on 64-bit version):
$ export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine
$ export WINEARCH=win32
$ flatpak run org.winehq.Wine winecfg
wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/var/data/wine' is a 64-bit installation.
How to install Wine 32-bit version?

If you can, give me simple answer: do this, try this or something similar. For example, I don’t understand previous answer. Does it mean to run this?
$ flatpak --user run --filesystem=~/applications com.usebottles.bottles applications/Studio+2.0_32.exe
If so I got:
16:06:37 (ERROR) Unable to load libGLX_nvidia.so.0
16:06:37 (WARNING) Unable to locate libGLX_nvidia

@Tail No just run bottles, it will be in the menu to select… Then can run the installer. No need to use the command line… Create an new bottle for the application, then run the installer, should be able to double click on it etc…

I installed within Bottle. I can run the app but without some dependencies it’s frozen and unusable:
So is emulation set in boot options? Your installing the 32bit version?
$ sudo grep -i emulation /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

And I run Bottles by clicking on icon.
@Tail Well you don’t need wine installed on the system? And your running “Studio+2.0_32.exe”
Ok, using zypper I uninstall all things related to wine to avoid conflicts. I was able to install additional packages and now the app is working smoothly. Thank you for you help and patience.

Did you manage to sign-in when it’s installed via bottles?
No, no sign-in/up needed.
stepping in this forum as on my laptop 1=ASUS vivobook pro N552VW-FY204T (2016) with freshly installed leap 16.0 with KDE I have the same problems:
I would like to install two windows programs
genopro
filemakerpro
summing up the solution steps should be:
enable 32bit support
sudo update-bootloader --add-option ia32_emulation=1
sudo update-bootloader --config
sudo zypper in selinux-policy-targeted-gamingReboot.
edit /etc/default/grub and add “ia32_emulation=1”
then run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg or bootloader --config afterwards to update
run sudo zypper in -y grub2-compat-ia32
reboot
uninstall all things related to wine to avoid conflicts
and install com.usebottles.bottles by flatpack flatuhub
are these steps correct?
@pier_andreit you only need to do;
update-bootloader --add-option ia32_emulation=1
update-bootloader --config
zypper in selinux-policy-targeted-gaming
There are a few steps for configuration and adding the mfc42.dll (other is not needed).
manythanks,
and about this?
uninstall all things related to wine to avoid conflicts
and install com.usebottles.bottles by flatpack flatuhub
@pier_andreit you can do, but as long as com.usebottles.bottles is installed as your user it will be isolated from anything system related…
Once that’s installed, post back and will walk you through the steps to setup GenePro.
manythanks

installed bottles version 61.1 by discover flatpack flatuhub
launched bottles it did some things and closed
rebooted
launched bottles
created new bottle called genopro type application
error unable to create bottle stopped on installing new times roman font
Is bottles installed as your user or system?
how can I check this?
from user desktop I clicked on discover, clicked on install bottles, discover asked me root password and stop
Use flatpak list command and check it’s all installed as “user”.
I suspect you need to run the command in #3 here https://security.opensuse.org/2025/06/06/selinux-gaming.html I suggest you read the complete article as there is likely a need for a bug report to tweak the policy for bottles.
