Wine never promises to run anything Windows. There are programs that won't run with Wine. Check the link below -- there's an app database where you can research whether your app will run.

Right. Thank you. However, that’s exactly what this wine (www.winehq.org <http://www.winehq.org>) is for as far as I understand. Their software is supposed to run any windows’ program / application within Linux environment no matter whether it is 32 or 64 bit. There are a lot of tutorials and instructions online showing how to run any windows.exe on Linux "in wine". It's pretty much like running Windows in a VM or something. The idea of this wine is excellent but I am not sure about its implementation and application in practice. According to these numerous "how to"s and all the other tutorials it's working but I cannot seem to get it working on mine.

I don't think it's even possible. 32-bit CPUs aren't forwards compatible like that. I won't get into the technical details why, but I'll just say that 64-bit programs require certain bits and pieces to be there that just aren't present in 32-bit CPUs.

    Hello List,
    Does anyone know if there are any work arounds to run Viber that
    has always been 64 bits on 32 bits machines?
    I have Xubuntu 18.04 running on my 32 bit machine. I tried to use
    different versions of Wine (www.winehq.org
    <http://www.winehq.org>) in order to install Viber but this Wine
    just spits out about 10 errors and dies. Therefore I was wondering
    is Viber actually installable on 32-bit architectures at all?
    Many thanks for any pointers in advance!
    Regards,
    Dennis
