WINE

Since this subject occasionally crops up, I’ve tested JScript Panel under WINE with Ubuntu 19.04.

Use this command to install WINE:

sudo apt-get install wine32

Then run the following:

sudo apt-get install cabextract
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
sh winetricks gdiplus_winxp wsh57 fontsmooth=rgb msscript ie8

Note that last command appears to download Windows XP SP3 which is just over 300MB in size!

That should be it!

For scripts that require custom fonts, I found that copying fonts to drive_c\windows\fonts in the .wine folder didn’t work but creating a .fonts folder inside your HOME directory works fine.

Although the component and most scripts work fine, you may find there are individual scripts that won’t work.
