I got some warning in terminal and window without any elements (see 2.png). I use wine 1.7.37.
Also I noticed that wine processes has different order for norman start and start via terminal.

Normal start:

Ashots-MBP:~ Ashot$ 

Could you give me some advice or direction how I can solve this problem? And why I got different result for double click and start via terminal. I tried to start it under Ubuntu and got correct start.

Thank you.

Obviously you need to fix that.

I use wine 1.7.37.

That version is old and no longer supported. Upgrade to the latest development release. https://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX

And why I got different result for double click and start via terminal.

Double-clicking in your file manager sets the working directory to the location of the executable. In the terminal, you have to do that (see wiki instructions in the link above).
