You are talking about Wineskin... this forum is for plain Wine only, which is build yourself and run command line on OSX. You'll want to post on the Wineskin forum.

For the answer though... there are bugs between Wineskin and OSX 10.9 that causes that... its to do with launchd getting stuck processes. Usually a reboot after the wrapper is made and you get that error, and it works.

If not... do this in Terminal, changing out the name of the wrapper for yours...

launchctl list | grep wineskin

THis will list
see if it lists soemthing similar to...
MyCoolWrapper505887210Wine.wineskin.prefs.121021
if so... remove it by...

launchctl remove MyCoolWrapper505887210Wine.wineskin.prefs.121021
