Hey everyone, I am new to the forum but I am looking for some help. I am trying to figure out a way to run .exe files on a MAC, when these .exe files were generated by a C++ program on windows (Microsoft Visual Studio). Everything led me to wine, as a free way of getting .exe files to run. The problem is that this kind of .exe files is not an installer, but rather a command window program. Would wine be able to run anything of this kind? and if so, any recommendations as to which one would be able to(i noticed there's a few different ones and I will be honest as to say i'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to them)? Thank you very much for all your help, Idan

Get the latest wine. Also you probably need to use winetricks to install the correct vcrun for your version of visual studio. John
I don't have any Wine on Mac experience, but what Wines would that be? I can't imagine there being any difference other than some being earlier or later versions of Wine... Pick the one that works, I'd say. Which means that you're probably going to have to try out the several different packages you found.
