Then again, WINE and similar 'translation' apps are such utter crap that only work on specific hardware and OSes that nobody with a brain actually uses them. They screw up at the slightest update to either WINE or the OS meaning you have to rebuild the "bottled app" yet again .... and that's if you're lucky enough to get it working at all. Trying to run Windows apps without actual Windows is always going to be a ridiculously silly idea that will never work properly. :-\
