Create a new ‘personalized’ bottle:
- Choose as executor sys-wine-9.0 when creating a new bottle.
- Ensure the is 64-bit architecture.

Add dependencies:
- In the bottle, add the dotnet48 dependency. The dotnet40 dependency will also be installed automatically.

Install PTR-MS Viewer:
- Move the ‘Installer’ folder into the root of the new bottle, e.g.: /home/olivier/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/PTR-MS-Viewer-3.4.6/drive_c/ directory.
- Execute the setup.exe file using the graphical button.

Bypass Activation:
- For some reason, if the activation ID is missing, making the standard activation procedure impossible creating a file named IcViewerDefault.txt in the drive_c/users/Public/ directory and set the value into this file to 109 can allow to bypass this control.
Troubleshooting:
- Software need to be started twice at the first launch.
- The ‘File’, ‘Tools’, and ‘?’ button list do not works. To overcome this issue, use sys-wine-9.0 as executor instead of soda-9.0-1.
- Add an entry to the desktop. The Flatpak version need a special permission to generate desktop entries. To achieve this, close Bottles and open your terminal, then type: flatpak override com.usebottles.bottles --user --filesystem=xdg-data/applications

Cannot access home directory ? Run the command flatpak override --user --filesystem="/home/user" com.usebottles.bottles
