Linux CentOS 5 - 32-bit VPS Help! (Running exe)

[LiteFire]

I have the following VPS:
Linux - CentOS 5 - 32-bit

I want to be able to run .exe files on it. I have tried everything I know of, and I cant get it working.

Heres what I get if I run through wine or mono:

[root]# wine Desktop/app.exe
wine: Install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables
[root]# mono Desktop/app.exe

Hello and Welcome!

I've never used Visual Basic, so take this for what it's worth.
What version of Wine are you using? There have been some decent results in getting VB to run, with a little tweaking.
See the HowTo on this page: WineHQ - Visual Basic 6.0 Enterprise Edition
Scroll down just a bit, maybe it'll help.

Im using the newest version of everything. And I couldnt find any help using that page.

Btw, Im not trying to run Visual Basic, im trying to run an app that was made on visual basic.

What program is it?

What program is it?

I made the program in Visual Basic, its a little app I made.

I built the app and downloaded it to my VPS desktop, I want to run it now.

If it's not been tested in Wine, then it's gonna be a project for you.
You're best two options would be to ask on the Wine Forums, or install Windows in a VM to run it natively.

tbh, I think the best way is to re-implement that app in a language, that both systems (windows/linux) can run natively, because
- it is a small app
- you are the developer.

perl or python come to mind.
