After installing wine-staging 8.8, I can run the hacked installer via sudo wine hackedinstaller.exe, however, after doing so, and when I click past the error, I get an alert that I don't have VC++ 2022 installed, and if I want to install it now. No matter if I say yes or no, the application does nothing.
Hi Jakub, First: Never run wine as root (sudo), it's bad and completely unsupported here!!!
To answer your question: if you click yes it should open your browser to the downloadpage, not sure why that doesnt work for you. You might wanna try downloading it manually:
wget https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
wine vc_redist.x64.exe
Last remark: that error window really seems to come from missing webview2 installation. I was able to install webview2 with vanilla wine and then that error windows is gone
