Using Wine

Please note that for the versions 3.0.2, 4.0.3 and 5.1 , Wine are built with --enable-win64 and so they cannot run Windows 32-bit binaries.  You can run the following command to execute a Windows 64-bit binary: 

wine64 /path/to/window_64bit_exe

Starting with 6.0, Wine is built with Mono and Gecko. We recommend to run wineboot -u to set up these libraries in your wine prefix.

Use other directory for C:\

You can change the default wine prefix $HOME/.wine to other directories:

mkdir -p $TMPDIR/my_wine_tmp
module load wine/6.0
export WINEPREFIX=$TMPDIR/my_wine_tmp
wine wineboot -u
wine winecfg
