--- Comment #4 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
you didn't use the Windows version but some "special" Mac version.

I've had a brief look into the archive. It seems the vendor bundled an ancient Wine version using 'Wineskin'.
--- snip --- $ strings Applications/EViews\ 8SV/EViews8SV.app/Contents/Frameworks/wswine.bundle/lib/libwine.1.0.dylib | grep "wine-1" wine-1.3.33 --- snip ---
--- snip --- $ grep -m1 WINETRICKS_VERSION Applications/EViews\ 8SV/EViews8SV.app/Wineskin.app/Contents/Resources/winetricks
WINETRICKS_VERSION=20110629 --- snip ---
Whatever the vendor did, that is "ported" a very outdated version of Wine is big NO-NO here. This is not supported. You have to contact the vendor and get support there or alternatively use the Windows version.
