There are not much solutions for this error. Any suggestions?

Not sure why I got -4 since I explained what I did and if you try to search on your own, you will also experience there is a really mess about this issue. Not clear solution.

Here is also my Linux version if it helps:

┌──(root㉿kali)-[~]
└─# wine --version
wine-7.0 (Debian 7.0~repack-10)

Same issue in Kali Linux, when I want to use "wine" to run "shellter.exe".

┌──(root㉿kali)-[/usr/share/windows-resources/shellter]
└─# wine shellter.exe 
wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135

  • Welcome to Unix. It is best to include relevant information such as the version of Linux and the version of the installed wine.

  • Basically, this seems more like a bug than a problem to ask about, and you phrased it like a bug report. As it turned out, this wasn't the case, but StackExchange isn't for bug reports, and a question is at risk if it even smells like one to begin with.

    As an aside, please don't use Kali as a general desktop OS. Even its own developers tell you that that's not what it's optimized for.

Reset to default

I had the same issue and it was probably due to misconfiguration. It worked after I got rid of old ~/.wine folder. Run:

mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.old

or rm -r ~/.wine. Then run Wine again.

    This worked for me too! I was surprised, because I had just installed Wine, on a very new VM? But I think when I ran it the first time, without the 32-bit arch installed, that created configs that were no longer true once I finished setup.
