Questions tagged [wine]

Wine is a software emulator used to run Windows software on UNIX-like operating systems. Use this tag for questions about developing software that interoperates with Wine, or developing Wine itself. Questions about *using* Wine belong elsewhere, possibly on Super User.

Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows.

Questions about using Wine to run Windows software are not appropriate for Stack Overflow. They should be posted on Super User, or possibly on a site specific to your operating system (e.g, AskUbuntu for Ubuntu users).
