Run a server with wine

I try to run a server with wine in my debian vps. When I start the server it crash with error 0xC0000005.

As I understand Linux version of dedicated servers are not maintained because its working 'well' under wine.
From my experience, yes it is working on wine but consume a lot of CPU/ram and it usually crashed (but its acceptable).

I never tried on windows so I dont know if its better on it.

To make it work I had to mess with vcruntime and co, it was not an easy task, far away from a common download/install/run process.

brostosjoined no you can't, the server doesn't run natively on linux.
chacha18 ye performance is pretty good on windows, could you maybe tell us what exactly you did to make it work?

I'm on debian, firstly I add winehq repository in my source.list.
checkout wine wiki

I am using winehq-devel (6.0-rc1 as today)

Then I created a wine prefix:

WINEPREFIX=<PATH_TO_YOURNEW_PREFIX> wineboot

And then, the hardest part, get the correct runtime working.
After a few try I end with dotnet472. Before I tried with winemono wich is a free/open reimplementation but without success.
To do that:

WINEPREFIX=<PATH_TO_YOURNEW_PREFIX> winetricks dotnet472

Be patient ! This step take a long time because there is a lot of workaround to fully install it. In fact it is sequentially installing older version with a few wine hacks.

After this, you should be able to run plutonium.exe...
But ! I had another issue, the GUI was not showing up, but it was working in background.
So I call the install command and waited for the download process to finish, and then start the dedicated server in command line... and... tAdAdA, it worked !
