MacOS tells me that Wine Stable needs to be updated by the developer
Hello! So I'm facing a problem where 1. If I try to open wine stable it says "“Wine Stable” needs to be updated. The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information." and 2. if I try to open a .exe file, it says "You can’t open the application “OculusSetup.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS." help!

Re: MacOS tells me that Wine Stable needs to be updated by the developer
Did you solve this ?
I have successfully gotten wine to work on macOS (Monterey) by installing Wineskin Winery - "unofficial-wineskin" cask using home-brew (brew command in terminal), something like :
The verbose option is obviously optional. this installs the Wineskin Winery application in the Applications folder. (I also used installed mono using beforehand just in case I needed to make wine use that instead of it downloading it internally and/or using a built-in.- I didn't need to in the end, but it's there if I want to play hard with the idea.)
The Wineskin Winery app has everything in it you need to run wine, including wine itself. Take a look at:

you could also also take a peek at:
https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer and https://github.com/Gcenx/homebrew-wine
One thing to note is to run 32 bit windows stuff in wine on 64bit only macOS, make sure you select the very latest "engine" (currently WS11WineCX64Bit22.0.1-1) when creating the wrapper in wineskin winery - which DOES run 32bit executables within a 64bit wrapper, transparently to macOS (at least it does on my 2012 Mac mini running Monterey, which I installed using OpenCore Legacy Patcher - yeah... what a stack of stuff: windows exe, running on a Mac which in turn is running a version of macOS that it officially is incapable of !
)
Hope this helps.
