Can a FWH-32 Bit win program run on a Mac

[Marc Venken]

Hello,

We have a Die-Hard fan for Mac in our soccer group. We use a FWH with Maria DB online program, but I think that will not run on Mac.

Are there Win emulators or so on Mac to get it going ?

In 2015 there was a solution, but anno 2018 there is a new way.

Puedes ejecutar tu aplicación FWH para Windows directamente en Mac usando:

FiveMac te permite que sea una aplicación nativa propia de OSX ( Mac ).

Marc,

Try WinBottler

Hi
You can install Vmware Fusion and run Windows on the Mac.
I've been using it for over 10 years and it's great. No problem at all.

I use Parallels on an iMac 27" and a MacBook Pro ( newest model ). I do all my programming on it now.

Parallels has a Cohesion mode so you do not have to see the Windows desktop. Just open the application and then Save on Dock. The icon to start the program will show like on the Windows task bar. Click it to run side by side with the Mac applications. It opens it like it normally would, and it runs perfectly. I have my Windows editor ( UE Studio ), Visual Studio 2017, my applications, and a few others all running on the same desktop as all of the Mac versions. It is seamless.

I will try this approach.

Thanks all.

You can try a copy of Parallels at no cost. If your customer loves the Mac, they will love this option because it simply allows the program to run just like all their Mac programs, does not require a reboot into a different OS, and the support is excellent.
