Only a guess as I don't run wine and don't have any Windows
applications, but...

CentOS 7 is 64-bit. Therefore I'm guessing you've installed a 64-bit
version of wine on CentOS? Further guessing your Windows apps are
32-bit? Can you see where I'm going here?

I'm guessing you are either going to need to build/install a 32-bit
version of wine or will need to find 64-bit versions of your Windows
applications.

Like I said, just a guess :-)
