Could you run fossilized and sandboxed in a VM? I run Tiny10 for a couple Windows applications that can't run on Wine, completely offline so that there's no need for updates. The system continues to work exactly how I want it to with no Microsoft Surprises.
One of the applications is for tax filing, so I finish the taxes, clone the VM, put the copy online and file. After it gets confirmation, I copy the database back to the fossilized version and wipe the copy. Been doing it for years now.
This is probably the best approach. You could pass thru relative USB ports and even a GPU to do things on the Windows VM that you can't do in Wine.
But how does that work? Isn't windows rigged to discover if you're running it in a VM to go "sowwy :( but this is an enterprise feature. Money please~!"
Might be something patched in Tiny10 but it even activated fine for me with the usual hack and hasn't caused any problems. I had to take it online momentarily on install to activate, but that was all.
