Hey All,

So there is an app that is currently only compatible for windows.
I need to use it for work purposes. And I do not own a windows computer.

I know there is boot camp and parallels, however in all honestly, I do not want to buy or go through the hassle of installing windows onto my Mac.

I recently downloaded a program called Wine/WineBottler, which let me install the app successfully on my Mac.

HOWEVER, after opening and running the app, it doesn't allow me to use the majority of its features.


Is there any other program that could help, or am I better off installing windows?

Thanks for your help in advanced guys!

Hey, I downloaded the file.
Once opening it, it gives me 3 files, however all 3 aren't able to open.
It says that there is no application available to open it.

Are you able to advise what to do from here, or another program that might help?
