Wine usage

Basics

Create a wineprefix

# install an x86_64 windows to ~/.wineprefies/foo-program
# (either works)
WINEPREFIX=~/.wineprefixes/foo-program WINEARCH=win64 winecfg
WINEPREFIX=~/.wineprefixes/foo-program WINEARCH=win64 wine64 wineboot

Run commands in your wineprefix

# run a program within that wine-prefix
WINEPREFIX=~/.wineprefixes/foo-program WINEARCH=win64  wine foo.exe
WINEPREFIX=~/.wineprefixes/foo-program WINEARCH=win64  msiexec foo.msi
WINEPREFIX=~/.wineprefixes/foo-program WINEARCH=win64  wineconsole cmd  # cmd.exe prompt

Then if that doesn't work, you may need DLLs, or to change your prefix's configuration

# install various DLLs etc.
WINEPREFIX=~/.wineprefixes/foo-program WINEARCH=win64 winetricks

# modify prefix's config
WINEPREFIX=~/.wineprefixes/foo-program WINEARCH=win64 winecfg
