PlayOnMac / PlayOnLinux

PlayOnMac (https://www.playonmac.com/) and PlayOnLinux (https://www.playonlinux.com/) are free user-friendly graphical front-ends for Wine.

The IECM installer is a 32-bit application which installs either the 32- or 64-bit version of the IECM, depending on the environment in which it is run. The installer may work, or you can use the portable version.

If you are asked to specify which file is the IECM Interface application, e.g. while creating a shortcut, it is iecmint.exe in the folder where the IECM is installed.

Note:

In our most recent tests, neither PlayOnMac nor PlayOnLinux worked properly without manual intervention, which we did not attempt. However, the situation may have changed by the time you read this, or they may be more compatible with your computer and/or OS version. Feel free to try them - you can always uninstall them if they don't work for you.

Although we did not invest the effort ourselves, we expect that someone who knows their way around Wine would be able to tweak the configuration to get them to work.
