Is this 64-bit wine?

64-bit wine is not currently supported by node-rcedit, see: https://github.com/electron/node-rcedit/issues/22

[dipenpatel235]

Ok...so I need to install wine 32bit in 64bit systems right ?

No, you can certainly build Windows packages on non-Windows, 64-bit host platforms. In fact, the CI for this project does just that on both macOS and (Ubuntu 14.04) Linux. On Debian/Ubuntu-derived Linux distributions, if you only have wine64 installed, it prints the following instructions to help you install the 32-bit version of wine:

it looks like multiarch needs to be enabled.  as root, please
execute "dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update &&
apt-get install wine32"

If you need instructions on how to do this for CentOS, I would suggest looking in CentOS-specific support channels.

On Debian/Ubuntu-derived Linux distributions, if you only have wine64 installed, it prints the following instructions

Those are great instructions, but they aren't printed down all failure paths.
