This is your friendly Microsoft Issue Bot. I've seen this issue come in and have gone to tell a human about it.

How about using Wine?

[Wohlstand]

Lol, why you trying to directly execute PE executible on Linux?! 🤣
Otherwise, use Wine to run Windows EXEs on Linux or Mac.

[ekungurov]

This is a bug in execve() system call. Please report it to the corresponding open-source project.

I see your problem. You need to use gentoo.

[grishka]

Have you tried sudo yum install windows?

[roboter]

does windows subsystem for linux in installed?

@mcooley That issue is not related since the bug occurs when I try to run the binary already compiled in gnu/linux and not when I compile it.

I demand that this issue be reopened.

[Grishq]

Stop panic! We will made it and we will rock you! Just need some time.

@MicrosoftIssueBot You should know that GitHub notifications do that already, you useless bot.

@m3k4itr41n This isn't rocket science, however -
There are three major operating systems in today's time -

• Windows
• MacOS
• Linux

Programs do not just work across the three out-of-the-box. They have to be cross-compiled/recompiled etc.

By default, .exe files are meant only for Windows. Some can be run, however, on linux via using a compatibility layer called wine. Since this application is open sourced, some developer could try and figure out how to compile it for linux. As of now it looks like no one has done it.

It's highly unlikely this will be able to compile on GNU/Linux without something like Winelib.

This app has a dependency on UWP, Windows 10, and WinUI - so is not currently compatible with Linux.
