Installing WineHQ packages
If you have previously installed a Wine package from another repository, please remove it and any packages that depend on it (e.g., wine-mono, wine-gecko, winetricks) before attempting to install the WineHQ packages, as they may cause dependency conflicts.
If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already):
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
I am assuming that this is telling WINE to work with both 64bit and 32bit Windows applications. Am I correct in my understanding?
Also, my understanding is that LinVST supports 64bit and 32bit Windows VSTs. Am I correct in understanding this? Is there anything special that has to be done with 32bit vs 64bit VSTs to make them work? Do they need to go into a different directory or need any special settings?
Am I on the right track or way off? I'm just now getting around to trying to install the Windows part of things. Thanks!

Yes, the WineHQ install is for Wine to run 64 bit and 32 bit Windows apps.
But some 32 bit Windows apps need more libraries so a distros multilib/multiarch needs to be installed.
32 bit vst's running under the 64bit LinVst versions need a distros multiarch to be enabled (sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib g++-multilib for Ubuntu/Debian).
After that, LinVst (the 64/32 Makefile version which is the default binary release) can run (or attempt to run) 64 and 32 bit vst's and they are basically just treated the same by LinVst.
