intimidating complexity of installing Wine

I would give that a shot. The full guide is install 'wine' and 'winetricks' the same way you install any other software you use. Then in winetricks, select 'default prefix', then 'run arbitrary executable', and point it to your .exe installer. After that, you just open the program like any other program on your system.

You generally don't need to do more than that and might let you forgo ever dual booting again.
