Setup Windows EXE on Linux

Using Windows Setup EXEs can be difficult on Linux. This shows you how to do that with a variety of different Windows programs and how to interface with existing programs. I also have an advanced section that show you how to run other EXE files inside of existing installs on Linux.

I love lutris so far, makes the migration a lot easier, I remember my first attempts at Linux on an old laptop, it was under powered and had to do a lot of manual wine set up for stuff like XI. Also love the cross over between FF MMO add on devs and Linux support xD XIV I noticed has the quick launcher as an RPM on fedora that seemed to work, just my GPU vRAM is toast for 3d apps on that machine. XI was one of the first things I got (Mostly) working myself.
It's great to look under the hood just because, while I do copy paste scripts, being able to dig in and actually learn how to do it myself so I can peak through, say lutris scripts, and figure out how people got it working is awesome.

Thank You for all of your videos that you did.

Thanks a lot Chris really appreciate all of this.
Chris, do you have script for your videos or everything is real time right off the bat?Its great by the way keep up the great work

Hey, Chris. I've been watching a bunch of your videos the last few months. I've learned so much! I've been inspired by you to do more stuff with Linux after discovering your channel. I've pretty much modified my windows 10 as much as possible, so I would like to try also installing Linux on the new computer I'm building. It will be fun to learn more about it in my spare time, and videos like this are very interesting to me. I have to admit, before checking out stuff on your channel I didn't know you could really play games in Linux. I haven't decided which version of Linux to install, but I plan to use your videos and website to learn more along the way. Pretty awesome you are a Final Fantasy fan, too. I haven't played XI in years, but I have fond memories of the game. Anyways, I don't usually comment, but I just wanted to say thanks!

I wonder if i can configure the game on Bottles and then add the final path to lutris so i can more easily get those overlays to work. Hmm probably worth investigating. I heard Bottles has a better way of configuring wine prefixes and bottles.
Thanks for the info! and thanks for getting me on fedora!

An Amazing Tutorial. How did you make Background look like that with Lutris?

[yousefkhaled]

now we know why that brightness issue existed😂😂

[davidsearle]

Hey Chris, can you do this with applications not game. I’m trying to install Wondershare dvd creator, it installed but missing graphical on display, also a real Blu-ray player, I have VLC and Kodi but they are limited due to decryption. Thank

I never was able to make GW2 run in Linux... if by chance I can using this later I will be ultra happy about it

Hey, I was wondering if we could have a tutorial to use the Adobe suite, like Lr; Ps, etc, on a Linux distro ?

[avvasaipranav]

Rellay love your videos, and they got me back to arch recently, unfortunately i couldnt move forward cause of secure boot. Cause few software's require secure boot and couldn't set that up on arch Linux, hoping you make a tutorial on that someday.

[kalyani]

Sir, I never used a laptop before and I just got an hp240g8 notebook PC from a scheme...what should I do first?

[luderx]

I would highly recommend Bottles instead, its "sandboxed" by default, and runs perfectly.

[roberthuxoll]

Is it anyway possible to use hardeware based tools with Linux? 🤔
I would like to use the AMD Adrenalin software for Windows.

[shoddits]

are there a way to install microsoft office 2010 on linux (the excel files are macro enabled so I can't use libreoffice)?

[kurdtpage]

Loving the WIndows 3.1 mouse cursor haha

[vitoru]

I use bottles for Meshmixer, as I need to work. I would love to make Creo to work as well....

[OmriYaHoo]

This may be a stretch here, but is it possible to install a windows service on a Linux machine as a service? I couldn't find any good solutions online from a simple google search. Did no one create a way to run them with a container of some sort? (not talking about Docker)

[xnonsuchx]

That X cursor just made me think of basic B X11 in 20yo Linux. :-)

20yo game? So that’s why the login looks like OG Wii? ;-)
