Personally this is the neatest solution and my preferred even though there its a little more technical than Playonmac and similar to Winebottler. It then creates a HeidiSQL.app (any name you want with any icon you want - but you need to configure it) around the windows.exe that includes the wine version selected and is completely self contained (does not need wine installed separately). Wineskin is a mac app that download and install (and manages, updates, etc) 'wine' for you. Wineskin ( ), Playonmac ( ) and Winebottler I am putting my findings down here for it may help someone: I know this thread is a little old but I was just looking for something like this to launch HeidiSQL and I came up with these three solutions which I have tried and all of them work.
