Comrades I challenge you to find the stupidest, most convoluted way to run a Windows app !
The rules are :
- You start with Windows and end with a Windows app
- All steps must be different, so no using 4 different VM software
Here is my entry, with a score of 9 beautifully stupid steps :
- Windows > WSL > WSL Wayland compatibility layer > Linux Wayland session > XWayland > QEMU > macOS > Wine > Windows app !
Can anyone do better ? I’m sure whoever get the highest score will gain eternal fame !
Not sure about better but I can add a step. Fire up Microsoft word, then write a macro which outputs a shortcut that launches Internet explorer with a URL that loads and local HTML page which after 1 second redirects to a .exe. then click open instead of save as. That only works with really old school internet explorer of course not the modern edge version.
