Silly question: is PL/SQL Developer a 16-bit app?

[hbar]

I guess I assumed it was 32-bit, but I'm trying to get it to run under Ubuntu with wine, and I'm having trouble. The wine forum guys say the app must be 16-bit based on my error (running 64-bit linux).

p&ty

No, it is really a 32 bit application

And: it is really possible to run PLSD using wine on 64 bit Linux - I am doing this every day (opensuse 11.1 x86_64 / wine 1.1.22). There are some traps, but the "main" functions work for me at least.

I can't even get the install to fire up..."vm86 mode not supported on this platform." The wineHQ forum guys advised me to file in bugzilla. Awesome. The one app I *need* to have working is the one I can't get working.

Are other applications running with wine? Which wine/plsd versions are you using?

Their consensus is that plsd uses a DOS installer, which doesn't want to cooperate with my 64 bit kernel. They gave the work around of installing to a virtual 32 bit OS, and then copying the wine directory structure to my 64bit OS. I didn't try all that, but it did give me an idea. I had a buddy make a tarball of his .wine directory that had plsd working (and a few other things). I exploded that onto my machine, and boom, I'm back in business.

It doesn't. The installer is a normal 32 bit application.
