Hello Matthias,

I was away from my computer for while and so only recently able to test your 
latest build. Unfortunately I was unable to get either one of them to build an 
installer. 

First I tested the Wine packaged version of InstaMaker. Your custom icon 
appeared correctly. The drag and drop did appear to work but I was never able 
to get InstaMaker to finish processing. I was not sure if anything was  
reported in "show details” after listing the contents of the folder that was 
dropped because the InstaMaker window became unresponsive and never 
relinquished control. I had to “Quit WineCX"… which of course made it 
impossible to scroll the “show details” field. It did appear as if there might 
have been something reported as the scroll bar seemed to have a good bit of 
room to scroll.

Looking at the Apple utility “Activity Monitor.app” I notice that one of the 
(multiple) wine64-preloader processes continued to run and consume 4.5 - 5.5% 
of the CPU. After waiting some time  (5 or 10 minutes) I tried Quitting 
InstaMaker. This appeared to work although in one case the wine processes 
continued to be present in Activity Monitor. (In this instance, when restarting 
the computer, the wine64-preloader processes kept the restart from happening 
and needed to be force-quit.) I tested several times with similar "user 
results” (the installer didn’t build and InstaMaker appeared to be frozen with 
the indeterminant-progress indicator spinning. I restarted the computer after 
several of the tests but this made no difference.

I had a similar experience when running InstaMaker inside Parallels Desktop 
running a 64 bit version of Windows 10. InstaMaker’s indeterminant-progress 
indicator began spinning and that was it. I restarted Windows and tried again 
but with the same result.

I’m sorry that I don’t have happier (or more useful) information.
