winebottler software

Hello there,,just checkin if anyone here already using the wine bottler software and if you do,,does it already verified working with OS x mavericks? thanks

You might get a better response if you specify the name of the software and where it's from (website).

ohh yeah and its actually winebottler from this developer

WineBottler | Run Windows-based Programs on a Mac

I just learnt that this app will allow us to run windows based program, question is I do not know whether it is already verified with OS x mavericks.

Try it. The major structural differences between OS versions isn't huge and since it supports Mountain Lion, it may very well support Mavericks.

Just a note - Winebottler (and by extension Wine) are by no means going to let you run all Windows apps flawlessly. Take a look here to see if your app is supported before going through all of the trouble.

It works. I'm using it to run some old Windows games. However, its installation routines are not up to par with that of Crossover. I also use Crossover and I can tell you that installing a Windows program with Crossover is very easy.

But as others have mentioned, it depends on which Windows program you're trying to install.

Ohh thanks guys for the info,,one last thing can you recommend me what exact version of winebottler should i install to my macbook pro OS x mavericks..or what exact s/w in order for me to run some windows application...

As I noted, not all software will run using emulation layers like wine (what WineBottler uses). What software are you trying to run? There might be better options available including Boot Camp (actually installing Windows to the Mac) or virtualization (running Windows in a virtual machine).

Yes thanks understand,,and I actually just need to run my Minitab application (statistic tools). and I'm hoping that it wont require me to install another some kind of like a virtual to have another windows OS..thanks

WineBottler is not going to recognize that application. You'll have to try to install it as "other" and give WineBottler manual instructions on the installation. If you download the latest version of WineBottler it comes with a list of Windows apps that it can install automatically, however, it's a short list. As I stated above, CrossOver is much better but it's not free.

Thanks, if it is guaranteed to run my minitab software then it will be worth buying...do you have a link bro so I can buy Thanks again.

Crossover:
Run Windows on Mac and Linux, easily and affordably - CodeWeavers

There's a trial so you can see if it works for you.

Thanks Guys

After installing minitab 16 with crossover..I saw this error



"cannot retrieve license information. Make sure the product is properly installed. (33)"

Anyone can help please

You need to use the attachment function (click the paper clip in the toolbar when you respond) to attach pictures.

Is that error something you see after you've installed it or during the install?

As an aside, minitab has a bronze ranking which means that it might work but you're going to be running into trouble at some point. If using this is important to accomplish some work, I'd be thinking about a VM or Boot Camp.

ohh I cant attach photo,,after clicking paper clip it is just asking me for for URL link (starts with http//)

sorry,, first time to join forum in my entire life..

There should be an upload button at the top:

Is your copy of Minitab licensed to you or is it something you downloaded from their web site, perhaps a trial version?

It's a trial version,,,seems that could be the problem is it?

Yeah, a trial version is not licensed until you purchase it and the developer sends you a serial number.

Ohh no wonder even after tried an option of parallels still the same problem i've encountered...Anyways I've learned a lot from ppl's responses here...thanks u all guys.
