I had an old mac mini 32 bit running Snow Leopard and an older Winebottler (I think it was 1.6.4) That worked first time with no bother
I've been using this older version of Winebottler successfully to bottle up various versions of a windows .exe that I am developing myself. That program involved sending emails and downloading stuff from the web. It always worked fine in the old winebottler and I was able to distribute the resulting .app to other users.
I have now bought a iMac 2013 running High Sierra and downloaded Winebottler 1.8.3, especially to take advantage of Wininet.dll being bundled into the system32 folder.
However, now whenever I try to bottle my program (even older versions of it) using Winebottler 1.8.3, the little black install progress window installs various things but gets as far as 'installing <my program name>.exe' and then hangs.
This is very disappointing as I thought upgrading the Mac and Winebottler would make everything work even better than before
I've gone into System Preferences | Security & Privacy and set 'Allow apps downloaded from AppStore and Identified developers' to true.
I don't have an anti virus program that could be blocking anything
Is there anything else I need to do to get Winebottler1.8.3 working correctly?
(I don't know all that much about Macs, only bought one in order to bottle my Windows program for distribution)
