high sierra does indeed break wineskin
the fix in this thread did not work for me:
https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=282290
using the media fire wine skin wrapper file from this thread encounters this error:
Are you sure you want to update to the latest version of Winetricks?
The latest version from...
<!-- pageok --><!-- managed by puppet --><html><pre>pageok</pre></html>
will be downloaded and installed for this wrapper.
my next steps will be either downgrading OSX or Bootcamping Windows since I'm stuck at this point
