Wine currently does not implement kernel32.FindNLSStringEx function which is used by .NET Core

Please clarify why you use the emulator but not native PowerShell Core for Linux?

My main reason would be to run the chocolatey package manager in wine.

Thanks for clarify! Are you agree with @Mixaill conclusion?

Yes that was a very good explanation. This should probably be seen as a Wine bug.

Thanks!

kernel32.FindNLSStringEx was added to wine https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/2d74a4ff43284c35447ed2a915b0b5b3e40748f1

worth to test Wine 3.4+
