The other option could be to install and update FileMaker on a real
Windows PC, and then transfer the appropriate files across to the Linux
WINE PC. The problem could be finding all the necessary files (you may
only need the FileMaker.exe itself) or possibly the authorisation
failing because it's running on a different computer.
