The forum

I just noticed that PlayOnMac does NOT run the system version of wine even though in the GUI is says it's running the "System" version.

At the bottom of my error log, I see wine version = 6.0.

But the version I installed via brew (wine-staging) is version 7.13.

So I started hunting to find where this version 6 is install that PlayOnMac is using... and I found it.

PlayOnMac is using the version that's installed in "/Applications/PlayOnMac.app/Contents/Resources/unix/wine/bin" and completely ignoring the system version of wine.  Which is the opposite of what the GUI says it's doing.

 

 

$ pwd
/Applications/PlayOnMac.app/Contents/Resources/unix/wine/bin

$ ls -alt

$ ./wine64 --version
wine-6.0

$ wine64 --version
wine-7.13 (Staging)

Minor correction.

It's actualy running wine32on64 instead of wine64.

And that version is wine-6.0:

$ ./wine32on64 --version
wine-6.0
