While Wineskin has been used mainly for gaming, it is capable of running non-gaming software as well.
More Information about Wineskin
While there is a lot to Wineskin, at its core it runs Windows™ software by using Wine (www.winehq.org), which is a re-implementation of the Win32 API for non-Windows™ operating systems.
Wineskin is a tool used to make ports of Windows software to Mac OS X. The ports are in the form of normal Mac application bundle wrappers. It works like a wrapper around the Windows software, and you can share just the wrappers if you choose. Free Download for macOS Mojave and High Sierra ⬇ WineBottler 1.8.6 Stable. Free Download for macOS High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion. Wine versions from around 1.5.26+ have a Wine Mac driver that can also be used instead of needing X11. All original content anywhere here on urgesoftware.com belongs to Urge. WineBottler 4.0.1.1 for Mac is available as a free download on our software library. The bundle identifier for WineBottler for Mac is org.kronenberg.WineBottler. Our built-in antivirus scanned this Mac download and rated it as 100% safe. The most popular versions of the software are 1.7, 1.6 and 1.4. UPDATE: It seems Apple has killed off support for 32 bit applications from running on MacOS Catalina. I would advise NOT updating until the Wine team is able.
Normal Wineskin Engine builds' Wine versions are built from Wine source code from www.winehq.org
Crossover Engine builds are built from the Wine source code used in the Crossover.
Crossover is a wonderful product by Codeweavers
Wineskin Engines use WineskinX11, a custom version of X11 (required by Wine) made from XQuartz, which is an x.org based X11 server. It does not use Apple's X11.app. You can have it use XQuartz.app instead of WineskinX11 if you so choose. Wine versions from around 1.5.26+ have a Wine Mac driver that can also be used instead of needing X11.
