Wineskin Winery is as difficult to navigate as it is useful. You can find other tips, hacks, and advice in the official Wineskin Winery forum. One thing to keep in mind is that instead of pressing the Alt key as you do in Windows, you'll need to press the Command key on your Mac's keyboard. You can now drop files on your new app and open them in the Windows app. Afterward, type in the specific drive that the Windows app will use when it needs to access your folders. You can do this by going to the Tools tab and select Config Utility. This includes giving your programs access to specific folders. There are dozens of more adjustments you can make, all of which can be found in the Advanced catalog. This will allow you to do a test run of the program and make sure everything is working. You can select it from the dropdown list then select Advanced from the menu. At times, it won't be able to find the program file so you have to choose the executable file yourself. Wineskin Winery is full of advanced configurations and can be tricky to use. Make sure to open the program using Ctrl+click instead of double-clicking it to able to install and run it properly.

On Wineskin, select Create New Blank Wrapper button and the Windows program should appear in your Finder window. You can download the appвЂ™s EXE file to your Apple device or copy the whole folder with the program. An example of a program that can be wrapped is Notepad++. Both programs are brilliantly written but theyвЂ™re not capable of running large-scale programs like office suites (you'll need Parallels or Fusion for that).
