Wine Installing wine32:i386

I started with a new VM, ubuntu mate 24.04 I followed Method 1 of the link I provided.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install wine64
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install win32 (it will bring many files)
wine --version tells me wine-9.0 (Ubuntu 9.0~repack-4build3)

rm -rf .wine
winecfg (start fresh, it will pop a window, Wine Configuration)
wine iview467_setup.exe (install successful)

why the File Manager does not offer wine as an installer?

It is missing a link, the following line with do it.

sudo ln -s /usr/share/doc/wine/examples/wine.desktop /usr/share/applications

Now, open your File Manager, right click on iview, open with ..., at the end of the list is wine

Hope this helps.
