What is Wineskin?

Wineskin is a tool used to make ports of Windows software to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (or later). The ports are in the form of normal Mac application bundle wrappers. It works like a wrapper around the Windows software, and you can share just the wrappers if you choose (that is the strategy used here). Best of all, it’s free and does not require installation of the Windows OS!

If you are satisfied with this installation process, please consider making a donation to Wineskin in support of the excellent work they do in creating the Wine wrapper engine. A brief video tutorial explaining how to use Wineskin to create a Windows wrapper is provided at the bottom of this webpage. Current Version is v2.6.2.

Installation Instructions

Use the MAC Download button on the product page to download the zipped S & S application Wineskin Wrapper to the Download folder on your MAC. For example, if you are installing SewWhat-Pro, the zipped wrapper file will be named Wineskin-SewWhat-Pro.app.zip. Unzip it and run it to install the product. You may be prompted that “SewWhat-Pro (or whatever application you are installing) is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?” Select “Open” to continue with the installation. You may have to change your security settings to allow the file to run, as explained here. The Wineskin programs will have a wine colored icon next to the file name after they are installed (see figure below).

Once the installation is successfully completed and you open the application, the S & S product application registration box will open. You may now choose to continue using the product as a Demo or enter your registration information if you purchased a license.

• For Webcam, your camera must support Windows Imaging Acquisition (WIA).

Firewall, Privacy and Security requirements: Be sure to allow hotComm to access the Internet through your firewall, privacy and security software, and grant it all possible rights. For more information, see 'Firewalls' at Firewalls FAQ.

Super Java client
Minimum requirements for chat (typing):

• Sun Java (most recent version) installed on your computer. If your computer does not already have Java support, you can get it from Sun Microsystems, Inc..
  
• Internet Explorer 8.0 (or higher). Google Chrome Browser, Firefox or Safari also supported with most recent Java V: 7.17 or higer
• Browser and/or MAC & PC enabled for Java and Javascript. Specifically set to allow for Java Applets to run with full permissions granted

Presentations including audio and/or charts also require:

• Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7/8 on a PC.
• MAC OS users should still download hotComm (CL, Lite or STD/PRO) onto WINDOWS if installed on MAC (available through programs like VMWare, Bootcamp or Parallels) if this is possible
• High-speed Internet connection, not dial-up*, ISDN* or satellite*.
• Sound card in your computer, with updated sound drivers.
• Pop-ups must be allowed. You must disable any pop-up blocking software.
• Best performance requires multiple VoIP programs (i.e. SKYPE, AIM, Yahoo Messenger as examples) closed

* Dial-up, ISDN and satellite connections should use Windows clients instead.

Apple MacIntosh
MAC OS users can run the hotComm Windows clients successfully in Bootcamp, VMWare or Parallels on a Mac OS/X, and the IM-Live Java client can run successfully on Mac OS/X with the latest Apple Java version which can be downloaded from: http://www.java.com/download

TESTING the Java Plugin
Apple has made many changes recently with java and it has presented difficulty for some customers.

We suggest to first test your MAC (and this works on WINDOWS, as well) to see if Java is working properly (which should mean you CAN run the hotComm Super Java if you successfully install the plug-in).

If there are problems with the Java not working, please install java from this site to try and resolve the issue. Note: you will be prompted, and asked if you want to allow the website access for the testing, to install or use java, please be sure to allow and acknowledge those prompts.

** NEW DOC UPLOADED 2018** If you ONLY need hotComm CL (The free version used for OnlineTraderCentral.com events and many trade rooms), please see these instructions: HERE

If you're on a MAC using a room that supports the FREE hotComm CL client, and you are fairly good with your MAC, you're welcome to try the appropriate installation above for your room (whether the room allows for the free hotComm CL client OR a subscription based hotComm (Lite or Standard), and follow the instructions HEREfor installing hotComm CL on the Open Source Utility tool, 'Wineskin'. This Document also has information for hotComm Subscription based rooms that require hotComm Lite or hotComm STD.

NOTE: Not all features will be supported as hotComm is a native Windows program. Basic features to attend and participate in a hotComm room will however work, and it is a better alternative than Java. Please see the document and read the section that pertains to the hotComm client that you need (hotComm CL, STD, or hotComm Lite). Once you're finished reading through the instrucions, then perform the install and setup. It takes about fifteen minutes.

NEW DOC- If you ONLY need hotComm CL (free version for Online Trader Central events and many trade rooms), then perhaps you would prefer the shorter version of the document that is available HERE

NOTES: This solution allows a user to run hotComm on their MAC without having to purchase WINDOWS. It makes for a more 'robust' trade room experience, as one can then resize the window(s) with the charts or visual graphics (i.e. the hotCam).

Details/System Requirements and full installation instructions are at that link.
