Appx support

Open FairyTail2000 opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Are there any plans to have appx support? Is there appx support already but I can't find it?

Btw, Bottles is awesome! It just works!

Hi! Only some appx(s) works via WINE but this need some more work as the appx should be uncompressed to reach the executable inside. Btw this one can be named differently and Bottles should understand which one it is. We will implement this in somehow.

I'm afraid that the UWP API are not ready for wine... So even if we try to extract the appx it would not run I think... But we can try 😄

I think it's better to postpone this task, at the moment we have some rewrites planned that could make the job easier

No Problem, if I ever find the time I will try to work on this feature myself. Although I would first need to learn the architecture of bottles
