  1. Can someone PLEASE help me?
    I get this message when trying to install WT Library on Mac with High Sierra: No new executables found!
    Maybe the installer failed...?
    If you tried to install somewhere other than C: drive (drive_c in the wrapper) then you will get this message too. All software must be installed in C: drive.

     

    Wineskin messages: Wineskin is currently busy. Please wait.

      Kim, it's better if you start a topic about this. Chances are that you will receive more replies. Not all members can reply to status updates.

      You'll need to use a conversion program for Mac like WINE if I'm not mistaken as the WT doesn't make a native installer version for the Mac.

       

      Your other option (which I've done on mine) is install Windows 10 on it (runs way better and is more stable than Windows on a native PC) and that way you will have no compatibility issues. Depends what you mainly use your Mac for. I only occasionally use the native MacOS for video editing so I've made the Windows partition larger and default boot it to Windows.

      For the first option you could try this free software from a brother. I used this years ago before Mac made machines that allowed you to install Windows:

      Before anyone harps on about copyright, this is NOT the actual CD-ROM, which you need to own to be able to install it on your Mac with the help of this software! :D

       

      Here's an excerpt from their FAQ:

       

      Can I use the Application from a USB Flash Drive?
      Yes, but remember that, starting with OS X 10.8, to use software not downloaded from the Apple Store, you need to enable the permissions from the "System Preferences" folder (watch the video).

       

      Does using WtLibrary infringe the Copyright of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society?
      No. The use of this software does not infringe the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society’s copyrighted material. The application takes care to respect all copyrights of the Watchtower Bible a& Tract Society. You must possess the original disc or a backup copy to be able to use it.

       

      To use WtLibrary do I need special software licenses?
      No. The whole project is based on the open source software Wine and Wineskin.

       

      Does the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society allow the use of this application?
      The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society does not officially support this application. However, after reading the "Readme.txt" document on the Watchtower Library CD, we understand that its use is not prohibited.
      For instance, here is an extract:
      Question: Can I use Watchtower Library on my Apple Macintosh computer?
      Answer: There is no version of Watchtower Library designed for Apple Macintosh (Mac) computers. Some products for Apple Macintosh computers (such as emulators) claim to be able to run Windows programs. These products have not been tested with Watchtower Library, but some of them may work with Watchtower Library.
