[@Aurora_SubZero]

mac: you cannot run windows applications in mac wine: *hold my wine*

[@eyreyka]

Look for other places to download it cause the same thing happend to me like for you

[@panostzakis6925]

thank you my friend you make my day!! I run wine in macos High Sierra and i chose the option to install the exe file directly with Wine ...

[@AndreaGtz]

Unfortunately it doesn’t work on MacOS Catalina, that why some of you may have problems running it

[@BingulonPrime]

Is there any way to let it run on Catalina or is there a Catalina alternative that is just as good?

[@NB_703]

Uh oh. Either I did something wrong.. or maybe it's not compatible with macOS Monterey yet? Because I keep getting errors once downloading off of the wine bottler page. and if I try to open wine, when it says "'Wine' cannot be opened..." it doesn't say "open" as an option. Only "Eject Disk Image" or "cancel" :(

[@AL8509-f8f]

idk if you figured it out but you have to go to privacy and security in settings and press open there

"'Wine' cannot be opened... Eject cork?" :)
