How to Downgrade Wine?

[matanuilover]

I don't know how to downgrade wine, which I need to do because it auto-updated to a version that will only run on Lion, and i have snow Leopard. Thank you for any assistance.

I don't understand how that is possible...

How did you get Wine? To get normal Wine on OSX you have to build it yourself. If you used Macports and did a update of outdated ports then it could have upgraded your Wine install, but it builds it from source for your machine so there is no way it ends up 10.7+.

If your using some 3rd party software that uses Wine, and not using Wine directly yourself, you need to go get help from that 3rd party... but I don't know of any right now that are making their builds 10.7+

I technically using a third party application that uses wine, but that is irrelevant; it was when I opened actual wine that it auto-updated, and when I try to open actual wine it says that I can't use it because my OS is outdated.
A direct quote from the console:

It most certainly is relevant. WineBottler is NOT plain Wine, and not supported here. Ask for help from the WineBottler developer.

Note that WineHQ does not build or maintain binaries. Even on Linux, problems with binary packages are the responsibility of the packager.

You updating code or whatever and how its built for what OS is all part of WineBottler... not Wine.

the Wine app that comes with WineBottler is NOT really Wine, its just named poorly, but its a WineBottler specific build of Wine packaged up in an OSX way.

If WineBottler is not working for you at all anymore, you can always use a different third party app (Crossover, Wineskin, PlayOnMac, etc...) or go with plain Wine that is supported here, which is easiest to install by using Macports, because it'll let you give it 1 command and it'll download the source and compile it all for you including everything it depends on (takes a long time). But plain Wine is all command line only interface.

The application I was referring to was PlayOnMac, which isn't relevant; however, I had forgotten about WineBottler, which IS totally relevant. That must be the problem. Thank you both for your assistance, case closed.
