Wineskin download

Note (5 Feb 2012): WineBottler doesn’t work. Use Wineskin instead. Instructions are here.Notes (12 Feb 2012): Pending a full revision of the instructions, I’m mirroring Matthew Giovanni’s instructions with some light editing.Instructions Download and install Wineskin. Download the OpenBUGS installer for Windows or the WinBUGS installer (direct link). I’ll refer to your download as xBUGS from here on in. Open Wineskin and select “+” to install the most recent version of WINE as an “engine” for Wineskin. Select “Create Blank New Wrapper” and name it OpenBUGS or WinBUGS, and Wineskin will create an .app file in your user folder (e.g., /Users/aidan/Applications/Wineskin). Drag your new OpenBUGS app to your apps folder, open it, and select “Install Windows Software”, and browse to and select your BUGS exe file. Your new Wineskin wrapper (in this case, OpenBUGS.app) should then initiate the setup wizard for your BUGS program.If you installed WinBUGS instead of OpenBUGS, you’ll have to go through the standard patching process described on the WinBUGS website.Gotchas If you’re looking to call your xBUGS installation from R, you’re stuck with WinBUGS. The BRugs package, which is used to talk to OpenBUGS, is Windows-only.Resources WinBUGS at WineHQ BUGS for Mac OS X

App, CrossOver either downloads it or provides a download link. You then follow a few prompts and CrossOver creates a bottle (prepare for a lot of wine-related terminology) that runs your app.When CrossOver works, it works beautifully. For example, I installed the Windows text editor Notepad++ with a few clicks and opened it instantly. When CrossOver doesn’t work, however, you’re in for major frustration because its menus are cluttered with obsolete information—you can’t actually use the menus to install many of the apps it lists. For instance, I tried to install Axialis IconWorkshop, the best Mac icon editor that I’ve found (which also happens to be Windows-based), from CrossOver’s menus. No matter what I tried, the Install button remained grayed out. Eventually, I was able to install the app manually, but doing so wasn’t easy and I don’t recommend you try that process.Another disadvantage of CrossOver is that for its bottles to run, the CrossOver app must be installed. In other words, you can’t simply copy a bottle for one app to another machine; you have to install CrossOver on the second computer, too. On an encouraging note, CrossOver has seen early success at running Windows 11 apps.Wineskin WineryIf you’re willing to do some of the work yourself, you can use Wineskin Winery to create standalone containers that run Windows apps and function like any other macOS app. You can even copy one of these self-contained apps to another Mac and run it there without any extra steps. Wineskin Winery, created by a programmer who used the screen name doh123 and now maintained by a programmer with the screen name Gcenx, is a work in progress and not well-documented. Nonetheless, below is a step-by-step guide to get a Windows app running with Wineskin Winery.In this example, I’ll install the app I mentioned earlier, Axialis IconWorkshop. I’ve been using the app on a Windows machine to create icons for my Mac system, but Wineskin Winery enables me to use it directly on a Mac. The same basic method for creating the self-contained Axialis IconWorkshop app applies to any Windows app you want to run.First, download Wineskin Winery from Gcenx's GitHub page. Scroll down to the “Manually installation” section (it’s ungrammatical, but it works) and click the Download link. Depending on your macOS settings, your computer may automatically extract the Wineskin Winery app. Otherwise, you need to open the download to extract it. Move the extracted app to your Applications folder or any other convenient location.Next, right-click the Wineskin Winery app and choose Open. Your Mac will tell you to move the app to the trash; ignore the message and press Escape. Right-click the app and choose Open one more time to

Launch it.Once the app launches, click the Update button to download the latest version of the Wineskin Wrapper; this is the software responsible for actually launching your programs. Next to the New Engines Available menu item, click the plus sign. An engine with a complex name (WS11WineCX64Bit20.0.2 at the time of testing) will appear. Click the Download and Install option. The list of available engines may be different depending on when you read this guide; find the highest-numbered one with the CX64Bit string in its name and download it.The next step is to make sure that one of the engines in the list at the top of the app’s window is highlighted. Then, click Create New Blank Wrapper and enter a name for your app. For my example, I used Axialis IconWorkshop. Click OK and, eventually, a dialog appears; click the View Wrapper in Finder button to see your newly created wrapper. If you encounter a message that says your app is damaged and should be moved to the trash, just ignore it. To prevent macOS from showing that warning again, enter the string "xattr -rc " into the Mac terminal (don’t forget the space at the end of that code!), drag your wrapper from the Finder into the terminal, and then press Enter. With that issue out of the way, you can close the Wineskin Winery app.Don’t try to open the newly created app yet—you’ll get an error message. Instead, right-click it and select Show Package Contents. In the Finder window that opens, double-click the Wineskin app (this is the only part of the system that's simply called Wineskin). Choose Install Software, then Setup Executable, and navigate to the installer for your software. I had already downloaded the Axialis installer for my example, so I chose that from my Mac’s Downloads folder. After a few seconds (and a few permissions dialogs from macOS), the Axialis app’s Windows installer dialogs appeared. I clicked through a few prompts to install the app and let the installer run its course. At the end of the process, the installer launched the IconWorkshop app. I then exited the app from its File menu, just as I would have done on a real Windows system. At this point in the process, both the IconWorkshop Windows app and its installer (in other words, everything I needed to run IconWorkshop) are stored inside the macOS-compatible Wineskin app, in a drive_c folder.Next, Wineskin showed a Choose Executable menu that defaulted to the Axialis uninstaller. I selected the correct executable via a drop-down list with the arrow keys, clicked OK, and then quit Wineskin Winery. Now, the Axialis IconWorkshop app I created was ready to launch. As with any

Doh123 from Wineskin, released a Beta version of Wineskin. In this release he fixed some bugs and added some features, including some requests I made. Doh123 asked to test this out and let him know of any bugs or other needed features ASAP, so he can make the 2.6.0 release great! Download the new Beta below.Wineskin 2.6.0 Beta 1 DownloadList of changesWineskin.m background daemon has been merged into WineskinLauncher. Please test thoroughly, including file assocations, and opening the wrapper from Finder, as well as all other functionality and screen options. Wineskin.m used to be the main brains of the wrapper, so a lot had to change to get it working inside of WineskinLauncher.A D3DBoost checkbox has been added in Screen Options in Wineskin.app. This will quickly let you enable/disable the CSMT option for Command Stream in Wine. This is currently only in Wineskin engines maked D3DBoost, and in the WS9WineCX13.1.0 engine. It will be in future Wine versions when CSMT becomes standard in Wine.Killall Wineskin button in Wineskin.app should work again.Killall Wineskin button will also attempt to clear stuck launchd process to clear up 10810 errors.Fixed a parsing bug in Winetricks update that caused some entries to have the wrong command names and fail to work, such as corefonts and allfonts.Stuck launchd processes will try to be removed at wrapper shut down, if any. This is to attempt to prevent 10810 errors.In the git repo, Wineskin.app projoect folder has been renamed from Wineskin to WineskinApp.In the git repo, WineskinLauncherAS (the Applescript version of the old Launcher) has been removed.In the git repo, Wineskin.m has been removed.
