I have a Uniden SDS100 scanner however the only software available for programming and firmware and database updates is Windows only. Sigh. I’m a Mac guy. Wineskin to the rescue. Download Wineskin and double click.
Click on Create New Blank Wrapper and give it a name.
It takes a minute or so for the wrapper to make itself.
- In general the Yiffalicious 32bit version has been running well under Wineskin on the Mac. Wineskin Version 2.6.2 - Wrapper WS9Wine1.9.21 In 0.6.2b however I am now unable to load or save any interactions. Any choice from the cloud will give me an eternal spinner.
- Wineskin 2.6.2 wrappers are a way to turn a Windows program into a Mac program. Games, business apps, whatever. Finished ported software looks and works like a Mac application. Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. Wineskin Winery Wrapper Wine Xquartz X11 Mac OS X Macintosh free do-it-yourself porting.
- Wineskin 2.6.0 Beta 1! - Wineskin News. Here is a beta to test some Wineskin changes. I went ahead and upped the version to 2.6.0 and doing a test release due to some major functionality changes in the wrapper behind the scenes.
Verify if the file to download and install is “Wineskin-2.6.2”. Then click “OK” to continue. When update is completed, verify the Wrapper Version is displayed as “Wineskin-2.6.2”.
Now that makes the wrapper. Drag the wrapper to your desktop or wherever you want to store it.
Now right click on “Sentinel” and Open Package Contents.
Double click the Wineskin file
It opens a box and then click install software.
Then Copy a Folder Inside
Navigate to the downloaded folder for Sentinel you downloaded earlier. Once you copy that inside then go back and click “Advanced” and set in the photo below.
Then hit Set Screen Options and configure as below.
Now Double Click Sentinel and install the program. Once it installs then you need to find the executable file and change it in the configuration screen.
Once you do all this and you launch the program it will forever try to install. Now that you’ve installed it you need to move the executable. To Program Files > Uniden > BCDx36HP Sentinel/BCDx36HP_Sentinel.exe
Close everything and you should be able to double click the Sentinel Wrapper and launch the program. Choose SDS100 and OK.
And then Sentinel is ready to rock and roll.
Note: I know this is an old thread, and am just posting to help anyone else who stumbles upon this thread.
First of all: Wine (just plain wine) is NOT available for Mac, so that leave you with Wineskin, WineBottler, PlayOnMac, or CrossOver.
Wineskin and WineBottler are intended for creating wrappers, which is basically converting it to a Mac application.
Wineskin gives you more customization over your wrapper.

WineBottler also comes with a system that lets you just run any exe on mac just like that.
PlayOnMac lets you download and run supported apps easily, but isn't good for just any exe.
CrossOver is paid software.
Wineskin Engine 2.16
If all you want to do is run exes with right-click>Open With, than install WineBottler.
