I am unable to run Windows "installers" using WINE (right-click "installer" file-->Open with WINE Windows Program Loader")... When I try to do so, I see an animated spinning icon for about fifteen (15) seconds, then nothing.
I did not have this problem until I accidentally installed "GOG Galaxy" for a particular game (and people actually want this garbage for Linux?)(I had downloaded the wrong "installer" and the one I did download installed "GOG Galaxy" first, before unsuccessfully attempting to install said game).
I have been working on this all day, and had no luck trying to fix it... I have completely "purged" / re-installed WINE multiple times, I have rebooted my system repeatedly, I have manually searched for files that appear to be related to WINE and then deleted them (emptying my "trash" in the process"), again whilst rebooting in between - no change.
So now I'm out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated.

This a WineHQ Forum and your problem is with Wine...
Yet you haven't bothered to state what version of Wine you are testing with!!

Re: WINE Won't Open Installers Anymore
WINE 6.5, under Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
Everything runs fine when I launch installers and .exe files via Terminal, and somebody else suggested on another forum that it might be a file association issue... Any idea how to fix this?
