WineBottler 1.8.6



1.8.6

Winebottler 1.8.6 Stable

Sep 11, 2018 WineBottler allows users to bottle Windows applications as Mac apps. Wine has always been popular among Linux users for running Windows programs, but Wine is available for Mac, too - and now, free utility WineBottler can 'bottle' Windows programs into separate application bundles that run as standalone Mac apps. # WineBottler 1.8.6 fix App Icons. And 2.0.0 in the nightlies - this should be very old news, but what can I say. WineBottler packages Windows-based programs snugly into OS X app-bundles. No need to install emulators or operating systems - WineBottler uses the great open-source tool Wine to run the binaries on your Mac. It is installed via Winebottler. When I downloaded WineBottlerCombo1.8.6.dmg, it also includes Wine app and asks me to drag-and-drop both Wine and WineBottler within Applications folder. But I already have Wine stable installed as explained above. My doubts includes: Do I also need Wine app bundled with WineBottler?

  • If you have an OS of Catalina (OS 10.15) or above then sorry, the free Wine.app method described on the rest of this page won't work. Your best option then is to install either of two commercial programs, CROSSOVER (https://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover-mac) or PARALLELS (https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop); each enables you to run Windows programs on your Mac - and using these programs you'd install LogiCola from here just as you would on a Windows computer. With OS 10.15 or above, you can ignore the rest of these instructions, since the free Wine.app program won't work on your system unless Kronenberg updates his Wine.app to these newer operating systems.
  • If you have OS 10.6 or above (like 10.8 or 10.10 or 10.12.6), but less than 10.15, you're OK and can go to the next step.
  • If you have OS 10.4 or above, but less than 10.6, you're OK if the 'about box' says that you have an Intel processor - but you can't run LogiCola if you don't have an Intel processor. These Macs are pretty old (roughly 2005 to 2009).
  • If you have OS less than 10.4, you can't run LogiCola, sorry. These Macs are very old.
