StrawWU Portable 0.7.1.17 — real Windows PE via Wine

Choose a tag to compare

@xuczxc100 xuczxc100 released this 29 Jul 05:02

What changed

  • Default backend = Wine: strawwu open / run / install actually execute .exe / .msi
  • install.sh installs Wine when missing (apt/dnf/pacman/zypper)
  • Double-click still works; apps run for real under WINEPREFIX
  • --backend native keeps the old simulated strawwu-nt path for tests

Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StrawCoding/StrawWU-portable/main/install.sh | bash
strawwu status   # expect: wine: OK
strawwu open setup.exe

Honest limits

Wine runs many Windows apps; anti-cheat / kernel drivers / some games may still fail.
Not the StrawWU ISO desktop OS.

Verify

  • launcher unit tests: 50 PASS
  • Wine smoke: cmd.exe /c echo wrote file via strawwu run (backend=wine, exit=0)
  • portable prefix + appimage smoke PASS
