Just get the exe and use wine. Or windows VM. I always use .exe for everything. I have no app images or flatpaks. On Ubuntu make a windows VM, in that windows VM install virtualbox and make an Ubuntu VM… And keep doing this until you have no disk space. Make a VM for every app.
Thats why you should only use flatpakked wine wrappers like Bottles. Bottles has no filesystem permissions at all, everything uses portals. So I suppose (apart from maybe privileged syscalls?) Viruses would be harmless

I solved it.
That’s basically sandboxing with extra steps… but whatever works for you, I guess.
Many years ago, it was discovered that Wine could run Windows viruses/worms/malware just fine, thank you very much…
“Sandboxing”, it isn’t.
It runs with all the privileges of the user running the app, iirc.

Uhm did you forget a /s ?
