C++ .exe files and Wine?!?

Post by Idan »

Hey everyone,

I am new to the forum but I am looking for some help. I am trying to figure out a way to run .exe files generated by a C++ program on windows (Microsoft Visual Studio). Everything led me to wine, as a free way of getting .exe files to run.

The problem is that this kind of .exe files is not an installer, but rather a command window program. Would wine be able to run anything of this kind? and if so, any recommendations as to which one would be able to?

Thank you very much for all your help,
Idan

I am trying t make wine a JVM like thing. the difference is, it did not read in java byte code, it executed x86 windows binary code.

i am interested in your platform.x86 or arm, or ppc. or mac, or ips,or others.

thanks

if you used MS Visual Studio... some things might not work unless you install the runtimes for that as well, but other than that it should be able to run the .exe files fine. You might want to run a command prompt in Wine if your programs are all command line.
