You shouldn't run into any issues installing VB or a Windows VM on it. I know it won't work on my system because it's saying my BIOS doesn't have virtualization turned on (which I know not to be true). Yeah, I know it's a little cumbersome, but I couldn't think of any other way around getting it to run in Wine. I've tried that and Play On Linux in Linux Mint and I got nowhere with both, though my knowledge of Linux is limited.I'm giving the virtualbox thing a try; thanks for the guide. It's very heavyweight thought - I'd much rather run in a wine wrapper. But that doesn't work anymore since v0.7.7 seems to require DX11.
Sadly, the version of VMware Workstation 11 I have won't run on Mac or Linux (though you could use VMware Fusion, however, it's not free). Otherwise I would have offered that instead of VB as it's much more user friendly and extremely easy to use. Not to mention, unlike VB, I like the fact that I can copy and paste from the host OS to the guest OS (and vice versa). But VB (AFAIK) doesn't allow you to do that. So copying to a flash drive and disconnecting it from the host OS and connecting it to the guest machine (VB has that option, but it's been so long since I've used it I can't remember where that's located) will do the trick. Unless you have a second computer, then you can just compress the folder using your favorite archiver and FTP the archived file from one computer to your guest OS..
