Welcome to Winebot
Windows application installer automation tool for Wine unix environment.
Based on thoughts from Wine-Doors project by Karl Lattimer. Will strive for data compatibility. Winebot would be nothing without Wine. You can support Wine project via PayPal Donation.
This tool should act in a similar way as an usual Linux package manager like apt/dpkg/rpm - but it will install Windows applications into user space ~/.wine or into another user specified directory.
Wine bottles architecture for running applications with different Windows requirements is supported too.
What is it good for
- To make Windows applications installation on Linux easy and maintainable.
- To get exact track of hacks required for not-so-well supported applications.
- To provide a framework for automated regression testing for Wine project.
