I have installed Wine 1.6 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.4. Also have installed mdac27 via winetricks. XQuartz is also installed and functioning. In attempting to install BioEdit [reported as compatible at least to Wine 1.4.1] the system hangs after the first of the MSI windows appears and I click on next. Then
appears and the system goes no further. I also tried running WINEDEBUG and it seems that it attempts to draw the window with the license information but gets stuck in the middle somehow. The final line that appears isfixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.
. There are additional instances of a similar line just before this one. as well. The process running at the time are:0018:Ret PE DLL (proc=0x403b0f17,module=0x40370000 L"rpcrt4.dll",reason=THREAD_DETACH,res=0x0) retval=1

I killed this soon after starting but the first time through the MSIEXEC process went for 27 minutes.
If anyone has an idea of what else to try?
Thanks
