~~Ho-tay. Longtime GNU/Debian user here. First time I'm ever touching Wine to launch a Windoze application. The application I'm trying to run is YUMI, which is (Your USB Multiboot Installer), aka PenDriveLinux. Site's been around forever (2002?) and I've used this tool pre-Linux days. Good tool.

Link to official site: [(https://pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/)]

~~Followed everything to the T, no dice when doing wine YUMI-exFAT* in the same directory YUMI-exFAT*.exe is in. I get two errors: Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file. ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

Searched online, and retried this time with wine64 and wine32 arriving at the same above 2 errors.

So then I went through WineHQ's step-by-step installation for Debian 12 "Bookworm" stable. Retried, same 2 errors.

Running wine explorer to get a GUI of WINE going, I'm able to reach the Windoze YUMI*.exe file, it is listed as an Application under the Type column... and I throw an "Invalid Handle" error when launching from there.

What am I missing here? edit:link~~~~

Downloaded YUMI*.exe again, and this time it worked. Corrupted previous file, disregard the above.
