WARNING: - The compressed tarball is about 149.9 MiB - It contains a 6 GB log file (it was difficult to not get it to expand so quickly and to log it in the first place) - I recommend anyone only attempt to go through it if they have a lot of RAM, seriously. - Since it greatly exceeds the attachment limit, I had to upload it to a cloud hosting site (namely, mega.nz)

I created a (non-staging) Wine prefix and used winetricks afterwards like so:
winetricks -q dotnet48 vcrun2017 python27
None of these are required to install the program, but the the program does use .NET at runtime and MSVC2017 and python27+ are build requirements, so I added them anyway just to be sure.
After the winetricks and program installation, the program automatically launches itself but hangs on "Loading extensions" for literally forever - generating that gigantic log file and it does so somewhat quickly, and my only means I had of logging it was with &> because my attempts to do so within the terminal myself just crashes my terminal.
However, Kate (the KDE text editor) CAN read the entirety of the file but it takes a bit to actually load it initially. As someone unfamiliar with any of the contents though, there's not much I can say about it aside from that it's baffling why it would be so large.
