I try to install XQuartz, but the screen just keeps running and seems to be in a loop. Same  story with MT4 and MT5. Can anybody help?

Hmm, I can't install XQuartz. Don't think it's fixed. Any help?

 

I'm on macOS Mojave (10.14.2)

POM 4.3.4 does no longer need XQuartz

Cannot install Ts Doctor. That seems to require Xquartz on POM 4.3.4. Xquartz does not get installed.

XQuartz is no longer required if you use wine 2.0+

Bonjour. I'm using Wine 4.5 on Mac Mojave 10.14.3. Trying to use MusicBee via PlayOnMac, but the PlayOnMac installer gets stuck on "Waiting XQuartz to be installed". I understand xquartz is not required with Wine 2.0+. How can I get the PlayOnMac Wizard installer to move on past this? Thank you

Ensure that you are running the latest PlayOnMac

I am attempting to run skyrim, which is using wine 1.7.36, but im on POM 4.3.4, will this not be able to run because of this, as it is before wine 2.0? And if so is there any possible fix I can run, or should I try downloading an earlier version of POM?

Install (if installation don't crash), then upgrade the Wine version from the Configuration panel (see doc in the Wiki).

Hi. I'm having the same problem as others. Every time I try to install MT4 using PlayonMac, it attempts to automatically install XQuartz. Then it just endlessly spins and never installs it. I've installed th most recent versions of wine = 4.11 and even tried installing a previous version to see if that worked = 4.3, because one of the mods said that version does not require XQuartz. What can I do to get this to work?

 

I'm using Mojave 10.14.5

 

thanks

Hello,

 

Pretty old subject but using the latest PlayOnMac (version 4.4.1), I've got the exact same problem. I fixed it by using Homebrew and installing XQuartz with it (in a Terminal, just type "brew install xquartz") and by rebooting the computer.

 

Thanks for this great project by the way !

Hi, how do you do this? - I have no computer knowledge or knowledge with playonmac (just what I have read in a few forums) so explain like I'm an idiot.

I stuck in the same place. "Waiting XQuartz to be installed". Have anyone the solution? 

MacOS: 13.3.1

POM: 4.4.3

OK, the solution is to just install XQuartz manually before...

Do you have a fix for accidentally denying access to files and it won't let me give access no matter how many times i restart the installation.
