Running a Visual Basic Windows script on Ubuntu is very easy, this requires the installation of the 32-bit compatibility layer for Wine, then this will be possible.
Enable the 32-bit libraries for Linux.

Then install all of the required libraries.

┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◉:/media/jcartwright/My Media/Stuff/Code$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine32:i386Once that is installed, run a sample VB script to test this out with Wine.

┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◉:/media/jcartwright/My Media/Stuff/Code$ wine cscript writetext-file.vbsThis worked for me when I tried a simple Visual Basic script with Wine. Below is the sample Visual Basic script I tried. Scripts that spawn a message box even work as well.
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("Filename-output.txt", True)
objFile.WriteLine ("Bejiitas Script")
Set object_sh = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")
Set my_command = object_sh.Exec("ipconfig /all")
Result = Replace(my_command. StdOut. ReadAll, vbCrLf, vbNewline)
ObjFile.Writeline result
Wscript.QuitThis is a very simple Linux trick, but it does work.
