For reference, I installed the snap on Linux Mint 20.3: https://snapcraft.io/powershell
...but when I try to run it via a simple:
Code:powershell "Patcher64+ Tool.ps1"
ran from the terminal in the folder where the .ps1 file is located, PowerShell throws up errors referencing DLL files and stuff which obviously wouldn't be available on Linux...
I also humored myself and tried running the EXE through WINE 7.1-staging but that didn't go anywhere.
Patcher64+ Tool has no support for Linux, despite Linux having support for PowerShell. One fundamental component of the patcher is the usage of "System.Windows.Forms", a component which Linux is missing and has no support for. This component is responsible for the Windows-like Graphical User Interface (GUI).
The .exe is nothing more than a launcher for the patcher itself. That's what it does. It launches the patcher in PowerShell. Running the .exe likely works in Linux, since all it does is launch the patcher. The problem is that once you attempt to launch it, Linux can't run it, because it lacks "System.Windows.Forms".
