About Wineskin winery
App, CrossOver either downloads it or provides a download link. You then follow a few prompts and CrossOver creates a bottle (prepare for a lot of wine-related terminology) that runs your app.When CrossOver works, it works beautifully. For example, I installed the Windows text editor Notepad++ with a few clicks and opened it instantly. When CrossOver doesn’t work, however, you’re in for major frustration because its menus are cluttered with obsolete information—you can’t actually use the menus to install many of the apps it lists. For instance, I tried to install Axialis IconWorkshop, the best Mac icon editor that I’ve found (which also happens to be Windows-based), from CrossOver’s menus. No matter what I tried, the Install button remained grayed out. Eventually, I was able to install the app manually, but doing so wasn’t easy and I don’t recommend you try that process.Another disadvantage of CrossOver is that for its bottles to run, the CrossOver app must be installed. In other words, you can’t simply copy a bottle for one app to another machine; you have to install CrossOver on the second computer, too. On an encouraging note, CrossOver has seen early success at running Windows 11 apps.Wineskin WineryIf you’re willing to do some of the work yourself, you can use Wineskin Winery to create standalone containers that run Windows apps and function like any other macOS app. You can even copy one of these self-contained apps to another Mac and run it there without any extra steps. Wineskin Winery, created by a programmer who used the screen name doh123 and now maintained by a programmer with the screen name Gcenx, is a work in progress and not well-documented. Nonetheless, below is a step-by-step guide to get a Windows app running with Wineskin Winery.In this example, I’ll install the app I mentioned earlier, Axialis IconWorkshop. I’ve been using the app on a Windows machine to create icons for my Mac system, but Wineskin Winery enables me to use it directly on a Mac. The same basic method for creating the self-contained Axialis IconWorkshop app applies to any Windows app you want to run.First, download Wineskin Winery from Gcenx's GitHub page. Scroll down to the “Manually installation” section (it’s ungrammatical, but it works) and click the Download link. Depending on your macOS settings, your computer may automatically extract the Wineskin Winery app. Otherwise, you need to open the download to extract it. Move the extracted app to your Applications folder or any other convenient location.Next, right-click the Wineskin Winery app and choose Open. Your Mac will tell you to move the app to the trash; ignore the message and press Escape. Right-click the app and choose Open one more time to
