Hello! I have recently been able to use playonmac to download skyrim to play it on my mac :) I went through the download, then updates and it started to do a first time use set up? When i went to do that it said downloading Windows DirectX then i receive a message stating: "The program SkyrimLauncher.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for this inconvenience. This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in Wine" i went and hit show details and this is what i received:
Unhandled exception: unimplemented function msvcp90.dll.??0?$basic_ifstream@_WU?$char_traits@_W@std@@@std@@QAE@PB_WHH@Z called in 32-bit code (0x7b82e378).

System information:
    Wine build: wine-1.5.10
    Platform: i386
    Host system: Darwin
    Host version: 11.4.2

So what should I do now? I tried to directly download DirectX and that did not work.

Another thing i tried is i directly executed the program and it would crash just as the smoke on the start up screen started with music in the background.

If anyone can help me on this soon, that would be awesome! hope to hear back from people ^_^

I know I'm late on this, but I just fixed this problem and got mine working fine.  You probably either gave up or fixed it, but unimplemented function msvcp90.dll.??0?$basic_ifstream@_WU?$char_traits@_W@std@@@std@@QAE@PB_WHH@Z called in 32-bit code (0x7b82e378) basically means you are using a wine version thats too old, as this function was implemented a while ago.  I re-installed mine with a wine 1.5.20 prefix and it worked fine.
