Watchtower Library is now in the Wine Application Database Top-10 Platinum List 

This is a list of Windows applications that install and run flawlessly on an out-of-the-box Wine installation. 

There is no need to use all old workarounds and tricks!

 
The WineHQ site gives this Quick guide on
Watchtower Library installation

  1. Get the latest version of wine
  2. Install MS truetype core fonts for web package. To do this:
    • Install msttcorefonts package using your packaging system. If it fails:
    • Install it using winetricks (this will affect your wine installation only, fonts won't be available for non-wine applications): 
      wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
      chmod +x winetricks
      ./winetricks corefonts
  3. Insert WTLib disc and run Setup.exe. If it won't work, do this: 
    wine /cdrom/Setup.exe
  4. Installer would create working shortcuts on your desktop (on some systems in home folder), and in Applications > Wine menu. Use these to run Watchtower Library. You may delete .lnk files (if there are any), since these are of no use.

There is no need to use all old workarounds and tricks!
