Bad .EXE issue with Wine.

Has anyone run into the Discord plugin refusing to start and spitting out this log line?

ShellExecuteEx failed: Bad EXE format for
Z:\home\<user>\.config\opendeck\plugins\com.elgato.discord.sdPlugin\Discord.exe

ShellExecuteEx failed: Bad EXE format for
Z:\home\<user>\.config\opendeck\plugins\com.elgato.discord.sdPlugin\Discord.exe

Setup
Ubuntu 24.04 x86‑64
OpenDeck 2.5.0 (official .deb)
Wine 9.0 — wine, wine32, and wine64 all installed and working

Seems the discord plugin is 64-bit but wine is trying to run it as a 32-bit.

Solution

Thank you for your input I solved it by doing the following:

rm -rf ~/.wine
export WINEARCH=win64                                                   ░▒▓ 1 ✘ │ 13:43:12
export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine
winecfg

rm -rf ~/.wine
export WINEARCH=win64                                                   ░▒▓ 1 ✘ │ 13:43:12
export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine
winecfg
