Bottles (for Windows programs) installation guide for VoidPup64

Post by simfann »

I had big problems with the installation of Windows programs with the package "Bottles". I installed "Bottles" (version 51.15) under flatpak 1.15.10, that I installed before with vpm. That was easy to do. But trying to get Windows programs into "Bottles" leads regularly with my computer to a crash of VoidPup64-22.02-240717. I guess, that my RAM is too little with 4 GB. For people having similar problems I will present now a good solution:
1) Install Fossapup64-9.5.
2) Install "flatpak" and "Bottles" under Fossapup64-9.5.
3) Install your Windows program under "Bottles" of Fossapup64-9.5. This functions for many Windows programs without problems, probably because Fossapup64-9.5 needs less RAM resources.
4) Delete "com.usebottles.bottles" in path "/root/.var/app/" of VoidPup64.
5) Copy "com.usebottles.bottles" from Fossapup64-9.5 to VoidPup64-22.02-240717.
Now the Windows programs should also work under VoidPup64-22.02-240717.
