Installing PVSyst under OSX with Wine---any experience or advice?

[heplesser]

I am trying to install PVsyst under OSX 10.10.5 using Wine (I don't have a Windows license, so I cannot install PVsyst in a virtual machine running Windows).

Unfortunately, I do not get beyond the point where Windows tells me that the application is not signed properly. I have tried to follow the instruction given in this FAQ post, but since I am using Wine and not Windows proper, the instructions in the post cannot be applied directly.

Has anyone succeeded in running PVsyst on OSX using Wine and could provide advice?

Thank you very much in advance!

I was able to get PVsyst 6.11(?) or so running in OSX (10.6, I think) and Wine, but I was not able to upgrade to the next version, and PVsyst was unable/unwilling to help me, so I continued running that version of PVsyst until I gave in and installed Parallels and Windows on my Mac, about nine months later. I don't know if the issue was the upgrading or the newer version.
