Bottles is absolutely fine for random exes...

Yes - it's not entirely preconfigured for you like the recipes in their catalogues, but most runners work just fine for general windows applications.

I have thrown several bottles together just to run plain ol' exe installers, and they absolutely work, in about the least effort you can put in for this sort of thing (entirely GUI based, mostly click 3 buttons and go).

ex - I have a bottle for running victron VEConfigure 3 to configure solar inverters. A bottle for running Carbide Create for Carbide 3D. A bottle for running windows CAD software. Lots of random things.
