The whole purpose of wineconsole is to run applications that don't have a GUI.. I tried the main wine binary but it requires a running X.Org server as well as a display, even if the binary you are running does not need either of those.
Wine may try to load display driver, but it should work fine if it can't be loaded. What's the exact problem? Please attach console,conhost,wineconsole logs of the problem when running the application directly, without explicit wineconsole.
My server is a production server and I can't afford to play around on it just to provide logs - run wineconsole from a terminal session, you will get the exact same errors I'm getting.
And no, it does not work fine - wineconsole with the curses backend was the ONLY way to run my application, and it worked fine for many years, until someone decided to remove it for absolutely no reason.
My application is also not opening a console nor any windows, so there are no logs to provide from the app's console, it all gets logged to a log file inside the application sandbox and those logs are completely unrelated to wineconsole.
