Winetricks is a helper script to download and install various redistributable runtime libraries needed to run some programs in Wine. These may include replacements for components of Wine using closed source libraries. Note: Although using winetricks may be very useful for getting some programs working in Wine, doing so may limit your ability to. Winetricks simplifies this process by doing all that tedious work for you. What’s the difference between this and MacPorts? MacPorts installs open source software on your Mac. Winetricks installs Windows software in your Wine environment, or wineprefix. Remember those utilities that you installed earlier? 那么,Wine5.0-Stable版本的更新意味着什么呢? 可以说,全新版本的Wine几乎打通了Windows与其他系统的通道。要知道,Wine并不是一个模拟器,不是运行Windows系统的虚拟机,Wine是通过代码转译,在Linux或者Mac系统上直接利用系统自身的API实现EXE程序的正常运作,你甚至可以看做是EXE的文件直接.

NOT. ;)
WineBottler packages Windows-based programs like browsers, media-players, games or business applications snugly into Mac app-bundles.Your company provides you with a login, mail, calendar and contacts that only work on certain browsers?
You quickly want to test your websites in Windows-based browsers.

Support
If you have questions installing a certain program, please have a look at the documentation or at appdb.winehq.org first. winehq.org is the hub for all info about wine. It contains notes, hints and tricks to install all major programs.winehq.org is NOT affiliated with WineBottler in any way. So please do NOT post bug-reports or questions about WineBottler there - write an eMail to mikesmassivemess(at)kronenberg.org and if time permits, i'll try to get your exe running.
WineBottler is my hobby and it is free, so please understand, that I can't give you a one-to-one support. If you are looking for a Wine version with great dedicated support: Note down this Promo Code: 'TANGENT' (for a 30% discount) – then head over to CrossOver.
