Updating Wine

I am using wine version 1.1.44 on a Mac OS X to play Diablo2. I want to update wine to the newest version, or at least 1.4. I go to preferences and ask it to check for updates. It finds update 1.2.3. I try to update to at least that, but then it says "Update Error!" and "An error occurred while downloading the update. Please try again later." I download Wine 1.4 onto my computer, but I can't figure out how to actually update wine from the folder.

All I want to do is to be able to minimize D2. When I run D2 it runs it fullscreen and Alt+Tab doesn't seem to do anything. Neither does command+M (mac command). It's very frustrating.

How did you install Wine in the first place? Based on the version numbers, my guess is that you're using WineBottler, which is a third party app, and not supported here. It also appears to be a dead project. As for the Wine 1.4 you downloaded, I don't know what you downloaded or from where, but if the file has a .tar.bz2 extension, that's the source code, and you use it to build Wine.

Ahhh. Yes, that's true. I used winebottler. Oh well, I figured it out. Actually, wine tells me exactly which keys to press. I just never took notice. Option, command, A. Thank you anyway.

Actually, no, never mind. I can't use alt+control+A very often. It crashes the whole X program.

Any other suggestions?

Deinstall WineBottler and the Wine.app.

Install Wine using MacPorts or Fink to get the latest version. 1.1.44
is NOT SUPPORTED.
