Just wanted to post here that I've been working with botspot & gman to merge VARA HF into pi-apps officially. This installation should be more automatic now just by installing...

I've updated this script to rely on pi-apps' wine installer from now on. I can't keep up with the breaking changes that happen for wine installation on each new version...

I've updated Winelink to include [revision codes](https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/blob/develop/documentation/asciidoc/computers/raspberry-pi/revision-codes.adoc#new-style-revision-codes) for Raspberry Pi 5 (`TTTTTTTT` = type `17` "5") be2c8eec51623a10b85787b7d45468b2a359b0ad I don't have a Pi5 to test with, but it should work.

>i386-binfmt-P: Could not open '/lib/ld-linux.so.2' @pe1rrr Huh. My guess for this one is that box86 doesn't have the bookworm linux libraries wrapped yet. You might check in with [Seb](https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86/) on...

VaraChat does seem broken at the moment, but I can consistently get past this stage on bullseye with the latest updates.

I have implemented a workaround for this now: I've added a different install method for VARA HF into pi-apps that relies on registering VARA's VB6 Active X components (.ocx files)...
