Hi.
in the instruction in the "How to use" section of the front page, it says here:

WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix
cp x64/*.dll $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/system32
cp x32/*.dll $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/syswow64
winecfg

Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it the x64/*.dll to be copied in syswow64?

Hello!

It isn't very intuitive I know but this is actually just a quirk of how Windows separates 64 & 32bit system files on 64bit systems. So it is correct that system32 is 64bit and syswow64 is 32bit.
