Support native Windows OS sessions in Studios (not Wine-based)

We are currently working on a project that requires us to install Illumina's Genome Studio for array data calling. This application it currently only available for Windows operating systems.
Would be possible to create a native Windows virtual environment (not Wine-based) to install Genome Studio?
Rob Newman
Re-opening because Wine-based container templates do not meet known customer governance or security requirements.

Our use-case would be to run imaging software (HALO) in the cloud, with native access to data stored in S3 buckets.

Concrete Hornet Our use case too - it would be very helpful if tools like the above or other Windows client software could be used in such a fashion. Would also help in deployment of such applications within platform, so that users have a "one stop shop".

Cannot be done within the current architecture.

Amber Echidna Correction - this is not currently possible because we use some fundamental Linux technologies. However, we will continue to monitor this feature request to see how popular it is and may focus future efforts on enabling. Apologies.

hey this sounds interesting but I am also wondering what the proposed implemention on the Seqera-side would be like for this? Is there something that Seqera and/or Platform would be doing to facilitate this? Not entirely clear how it would be different from just spinning up the Windows VM yourself locally or in an AWS job or similar, outside of Platform. I am interested to know since we will also have Windows usages in the future.

Charcoal Mandrill: Currently, this is not possible, and your proposed solution (spinning up a Windows VM outside of Seqera Platform) is the recommended approach until we can provision Windows containers in Data Studios. Thanks for your input.
