[Question] Complete Instructions to Run a Windows Application in Browser

[Suleman-Elahi]

Docs missing how to make an app or container in browser. I also couldn't find any resource on internet that explains how to do that. Can you explain the steps to run the default mine sweeper game in browser?

[kevodwyer]

To run WINE's mine sweeper use:
boxedwine.html?p=winemine.exe

If you don't provide any parameters then the WINE shell is launched. Use the 'Run...' command available on the start menu to run an executable file.

Further instructions found here:
www.boxedwine.org/documentation/web-build-configuration/

Okay and where is this "boxedwine.html" file is ?

[kevodwyer]

Start with the instructions listed under section 'Emscripten Build' on:
www.boxedwine.org/documentation/build/

[Suleman-Elahi]

I followed the instructions and I see nothing in the console nor when I open boxedwine.html file. Any ideas?

It just keeps spinning.

[kevodwyer]

It is hard to diagnose the problem from the screenshot. Opening the browser console is useful to see any errors.
Have you created a filesystem for the emulator to use?
If not, you will need to build one. Easiest way is to run BoxedWine on Windows to download the latest filesystems.
Navigate to Users//AppData/Roaming/Boxedwine/FileSystems
You will see debian.zip and a number of files in the format Wine-?.?.zip

Splice together Debian.zip and Wine-4.0.zip (for example) into one zip file called boxedwine.zip
Copy to same directory as the WASM files.

I recommend you access boxedwine.html via a web server.
