Run Windows Installers on Android: Install Non-Steam Games with GameNative

Mon, 09 Nov 2026 18:00:00 +0300

All I wanted was to run a setup.exe on my phone. GameNative boots a Windows container on Android, so this should be double-click installer, pick exe, play.

I installed to C: twice before I saw it: the launcher only scans A:.

Once that clicks, the rest is bookkeeping. Here is the map, then the 5 steps.

TL;DR — the 5 steps Link to heading

Add Custom Game → pick a folder. That folder becomes A:.
Open container → boots wfm.exe file manager.
Run setup.exe from D: (Downloads) → install to A:\GameName.
Edit container → General → Executable Path → pick the exe.
Play. If it installed to C:, use Custom path… instead.

Needs v1.2.1+ for custom paths, v1.3.0+ for WMV codecs. Current is v1.4.0.
