I haven't had issues with it yet, running it through wine seems to work for me. That being said it's not guaranteed to behave.

Are you using standard WINE? I must admit the thought never occured to me to try it.

Use Wine 9 or a fork of Wine 9, and install to the C: drive. Works every time.

I'll give it a go. Thank you!
