Issue Details

• Electron Packager Version:
  • 17.1.1
• Electron Version:
  • 24.3.1
• Operating System:
  • Debian 12 (bookworm) amd64

Expected Behavior

With 64-bit WINE installed via apt, it should build without any issues.

Actual Behavior

electron-packager checks for wine64, and fails to find it as debian does not package the wine64 command.

To Reproduce

Create an electron-packager app on Debian 12 (bookworm), install wine, and build for the win32 target.

Additional Information

An easy workaround for this issue is to simply create a wrapper script in the $PATH with the name wine64 that simply runs the regular wine command and passes the arguments provided to the script.

I've had a similar issue with wine not working in our kubernetes/jenkins environment, but wine64 working fine.
I had no control on what electron-builder uses though, so I symlinked wine to wine64 via ln -sf /usr/bin/wine64 /usr/bin/wine
