@Dingo :-
O-kay. Well, obviously, just because it works for me doesn't necessarily mean it'll work for other folks. That's a shame it doesn't do what you want, because everything I use it for runs flawlessly.....and trister, who found it, says it works very well for him, too.
A lot, I think, is going to depend on the Windoze prog/app you want to use; I have to assume they're not all built the same way!
Bionic64 gave ME a LOT of issues; so many, in fact, that I voluntarily quit using it. I run newer Pups, I still run older Pups.....but THAT one was just SO much trouble (both on the old desktop & this new one) that I said "Sod it."
I don't blame Phil. Must have just been some incompatibility between my hardware and certain core parts of Bionicpup64, because it never would BEHAVE itself. It seems to work fine for everybody else.
(I took the view, "Why struggle?" There's so many other Pups to choose from, I wasn't giving myself grief just because it was the "official" Puppy at that time. Plenty of other fish in the sea.....)

So. Let's see if we can't sort you out. Before switching to this AppImage throughout the kennels, I had 'conventional' WINE running nicely under Xenialpup64. What, exactly, is giving you trouble with 'normal' WINE?
(I would use version2013's wine 3.3_v2.1. But before you install it, you first have to load the 32-bit compatibilty SFS, and set THAT up, because this is a 32-bit version of WINE.....yes?)
