Download a .msi file designed for Mint version 19.
I need only one application I can use on Linux from Windows. There isn’t a Linux distribution available. It’s a writing tool with an .msi installer. Can you help me find the best way to run it on Mint 19? I want to move away from Windows. The program link is: https://www.novel-software.com/ I paid $40 for it, otherwise I’d give up.

I can stick to the web version only. You're right, it's possible to use Wine, but for clarity I recommend PlayOnLinux which makes managing and downloading the latest Wine versions straightforward. Let me check if that works first. Edit: no, it doesn't. The error appeared in the debugging log, indicating a System.MemberAccessException—likely because some essential library or components are missing. Wine might need some custom adjustments, such as installing additional .dll files.
