Bit Che for Wine - Mac OSX & Ubuntu / Re: Mac OS X El Capitan + Wine + Bit Che = frustration

« on: March 15, 2016, 07:23:45 am »

Thanks for the advice! Sorry it took me so long to reply.

OK. I've tried a number of things. First, I made sure my WineTricks was up to date. Then I tried the command: "winetricks winhttp" as you suggested. No luck. Same problem.

Bit Che appears to detect Wine. Wine appears in the status bar on start up.

I tried uninstalling Wineskin Winery and reinstalling. No luck. I uninstalled it again.
I tried installing Wine Bottler and Bit Che. No luck. I uninstalled again.
I even tried installing a demo version of Crossover with Bit Che. No luck.
I have also tried turning off the Mac firewall.
I have made sure that Bit Che and Wine have firewall permissions.

I'm a bit baffled. When I click "About" Bit Che, or "Check for version update", or "Check for driver updates" (or whatever the exact text it. I think you know what I mean) There appears to be a brief burst of network traffic, and then a pause of several seconds, followed by another brief burst. It goes on like this until Bit Che times out on the connection.

It's strange, because I have another Wine wrapper running a Windows application. It's called VZ Connect and it's a freeware VOIP voicemail operator program. It's not giving me any problems with Wine or OS X El Capitan. So I'll kee trying and let you know how it goes.

Any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Bit Che for Wine - Mac OSX & Ubuntu / Mac OS X El Capitan + Wine + Bit Che = frustration

« on: March 01, 2016, 03:29:47 am »

I recently upgraded to El Capitan and was surprised to find that Bit Che and another Wineskin app were not working. I upgraded to Bit Che 3.5 v.30 and the latest (El Capitan compliant) Wineskin engine and wrappers, and created a shiny new wrapper for Bit Che.

Except Bit Che seems unable to access the internet. I have checked the settings, checked the firewall permissions on my Mac and modem/router. But I still get log files full of the following types of entries:

I'm pretty inept at coding. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. I love Bit Che and hope to be able to resume using it soon. Thanks.

Bit Che for Wine - Mac OSX & Ubuntu / Re: Bit Che 3.0 - Latest Version -- using Wineskin to use Bit Che on OS X

Hmm... I have to admit that I have not tried to install any of the language packs. Perhaps someone else might share the benefit of their experience?

UPDATE:
In case anyone is wondering, the latest Bit Che (+) version 3.5 (build 26) is stable on the latest Mac OS X 10.10.4 Yosemite.

The installation instructions, posted previously, still are valid.

Great job Chip! and thanks to everyone that helps make Bit Che such a valued tool!!!

All the best,

That was almost too easy!  Seems the old instructions still apply. If there are differences, they are rather minor and the necessary action is obvious.

I should qualify my statement by making it clear that I am (still) running OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. It's a long story.

Anyway, my thanks to Chip and all of Convivea for the Bit Che update!

Not a problem. I hope this is helpful.

I have just downloaded the updated version of Bit Che, and will see if the installation process is any different. I will try to prepare a "how to" for other Mac users.

I wasn't aware that you included vb6run in the new version. I installed it just to be safe. I will try to do an uninstall and reinstall, without separately installing vb6run and will post back. Thanks for the info.

Bit Che for Wine - Mac OSX & Ubuntu / Bit Che 3.0 - Latest Version -- using Wineskin to use Bit Che on OS X

« on: August 30, 2014, 08:25:25 am »

I'm very glad to see the 3.0 update of Bit Che! Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make it happen.

I am primarily a Mac user, but still have some Windows machines.

I thought other Mac users might want to use the latest version of Bit Che on their Macs, so I'm attaching a PDF of instructions on how to use Wineskin to get Bit Che to run in a window under OS X.

Hope it is helpful for some. Thanks!
