WineBottler packages Windows-based programs snugly into OS X app-bundles. No need to install emulators or operating systems - WineBottler uses the great open-source tool Wine to run the binaries on your Mac. I am new with mac and I am trying to install Cubase 5 using Winebottler. This program runs well on my PC, but since I moved to mac, I want to install it. I was trying to do that using Winebottler, but it keeps saying 'Prefix reation exited with error' and 'you find a logfile to help with debugging on your desktop'.

With WineBottler you can finally run Windows applications on your Mac. Download it for free right here!
In the last few years, Apple’s Mac computers have become increasingly popular. Unfortunately, it can still be necessary to install Windows on your shiny new MacBook in order to run some of your favorite applications and games. WineBottler is a free tool that promises to solve this problem by actually letting you install Windows applications directly in Mac OS X.
The installation consists of several steps. First of all, you have to download and unpack the file by dragging WineBottler and Vine into a folder on your system, such as the normal one for applications. When you open WineBottler for the first time, Mac OS X will also ask you to install XQuartz, which can be found on this website. It is not that hard to get everything up and running, but WineBottler is definitely not for the regular user with no technical knowledge.
Basically, you can install any Windows application, but WineBottler comes with many automated installers for applications such as Firefox, Safari, Steam and so on. Since there are already Mac versions of those applications, we tried installing Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer and MS Paint instead. Internet Explorer did not work, but the others worked quite good. After installing something, you are supposed to see a list of all your Windows applications in WineBottler itself, but that did not work either.
Overall, WineBottler is a very interesting and perhaps useful application with a big potential, but it is not quite there yet. Everything does not always work, and installing it should definitely be easier so everyone can use it.
