Additional Comments

I should rate it as Gold rather than Platium because Winetricks are used, but the workarounds section is missing. I am not installing it on my host system, but inside a docker-ed environment for flexibility. The host system is Fedora 27.

The image is created with this Dockerfile, tagged as wine

FROM fedora:27
RUN useradd -U -m user; \
    curl -o /etc/yum.repos.d/winehq.repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/27/winehq.repo; \
    dnf install -y winehq-devel $(dnf repoquery -q --requires winetricks | grep -v ^wine) glx-utils mesa-dri-drivers.x86_64 mesa-dri-drivers.i686 /usr/bin/ntlm_auth glibc-langpack-zh langpacks-zh_CN; \
    dnf clean all; \
    curl -vLo /usr/local/bin/winetricks https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks; \
    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/winetricks; \
    mkdir -p /opt/wine-devel/share/wine/mono /opt/wine-devel/share/wine/gecko; \
    cd /opt/wine-devel/share/wine/mono; \
    curl -vLOJ https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono/4.7.1/wine-mono-4.7.1.msi; \

USER user
WORKDIR /home/user

Start a container with

docker run --rm -it -v /tmp/.X11-unix/X0:/tmp/.X11-unix/X0 -v /path/to/microsoft/fonts:/usr/share/local/fonts:ro --device=/dev/dri --security-opt="no-new-privileges" --ipc=host --env WINEARCH=win32 --env DISPLAY=:0 --env XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus --env LANG=zh_CN --env LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 wine bash

Then run this script inside it with the installer pre-downloaded

winetricks winxp riched20 ole32
wine WechatSetup.exe
wine 'C:\Program Files\Tencent\WeChat\WeChat.exe'

You may modify the example code above if you are familiar with Docker

自行翻译吧，懒

Wine的语言跟随LC_ALL和LANG，但微信在英文Wine环境下中文联系人显示不出来。另外Wine的输入法模块底层是xim，底层实现做了一次UTF-8到UTF-16的转换，如果当前locale里面没有UTF-8的话（Docker镜像默认locale是POSIX）转换是会失败的（没有默认的CP_UNIXCP代码页），因此需要手动设置

Please translate it by yourself from Chinese because I am lazy
