All right, I've downloaded Wine and Wine Bottler, created an app with my program, put in the confirmation code for -that-, jumped through a few more hoops because Sony apparently now requires a 20-some character code for confirmation as well as the original key, ran it, and got the usual error message: [Image: http://img814.imageshack.us/img814/8784/screenshot20110512at254.png ] Read the FAQ, so now my best best is downloading and running Winetricks. So I downloaded it, but it's a plaintext file. How do I use this? Do I copy + paste it into the command line, and if so, how do I open the command line on MacOSX? (new to this OS as well, haha. I knew how to open it on Windows.) sorry for my noobish question, orz.

Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal 2. cd Downloads 3. chmod +x winetricks 4. winetricks --help (or if you know the name of the module you want to install winetricks <name of module> This will run the help menu or install the module to the default $HOME/.wine James McKenzie

I got the following: Code: Last login: Fri May 13 10:54:19 on ttys000 (name)s-iMac:~ Name$ cd downloads (name)s-iMac:downloads Name$ chmod +x winetricks (name)s-iMac:downloads name$ It doesn't reject the command, but it doesn't do anything, either. Once again, forgive me, I'm not a programmer. Then, I tried to open it again and got the following: Code: Last login: Fri May 13 11:00:43 on ttys000 (name)s-iMac:~ Kay$ /Users/(name)/Downloads/winetricks ; exit; /Users/(name)/Downloads/winetricks: line 2910: wine: command not found ------------------------------------------------------ wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string ------------------------------------------------------ logout [Process completed] When I tried to open the file as a plaintext previously, it said I should be seeing a copyright symbol and I saw something else entirely, so I'm not sure if that means anything. Thanks once again for your help, and sorry for being troublesome! I appreciate all the work you guys put into this software.
people who use third party wine distributions like winebottler should normally ask the third party for support. But winebottler looks kind of sleepy, it hasn't been updated for a year and a half. Maybe you should consider http://wineskin.doh123.com it seems more active.
