There is an experimental project called wine-pkg that automates the wrapper creation process described in Option 1. Install via:

git clone https://github.com/meebey/wine-pkg
cd wine-pkg
make
sudo make install

Then run:

wine-pkg create your-program.exe

This generates a .deb automatically.


This is the most advanced answer to “how to convert exe to deb link.” You create a .deb that, upon installation, downloads the EXE from the official Windows link and configures Wine.

Why this is genius:

Create DEBIAN/postinst script (executed after installation):

#!/bin/bash
# This script runs when the .deb is installed
EXE_URL="https://example.com/download/app.exe"
EXE_NAME="app.exe"
DOWNLOAD_PATH="/opt/myapp/$EXE_NAME"

wget -O "$DOWNLOAD_PATH" "$EXE_URL" chmod +x "$DOWNLOAD_PATH"

There are three primary approaches to resolving the .exe to .deb requirement.

Originally for Steam games, Proton can run many Windows EXEs. Install ProtonUp-Qt and run any EXE via Steam’s compatibility layer.
