Don't think so, as that wasn't mentioned on the website that had direction on
how to get Chummer to work on a mac.

That guide installs native dotnet40..

Your error implies that you set mscoree to native, but it can't be found for
some reason

I don't know what's going on, as I followed the guide step by step, and at the
end of it, I get that error.

I have even attempted a full uninstall and re-install and still get the same
error.

Hello folks,

possible reasons:

* recycled/broken WINEPREFIX
* outdated 'winetricks'
* broken Wine version
* broken host dependencies
* didn't tell the whole story

You likely operate on a broken WINEPREFIX.

Also you didn't tell the exact version of this 'chummer5' app.
Always provide the app version and download when reporting bugs otherwise you
won't get proper help.

Old .NET 4.0 based project: https://github.com/chummer5a/chummer5
Recent one (successor), .NET 4.x based:
https://github.com/chummer5a/chummer5a/releases

Depending on the app version downloaded one might encounter surprise issues...

https://github.com/chummer5a/chummer5a/releases/download/5.178.0/Chummer.5.1...

Using 'winetricks -q dotnet40' and running the app yields:

Lengthy in-detail article:

--- quote ---
So possible workarounds are to fall back to 4.0 on the build machine, install
.NET 4.5 on the target machine and the real fix, to rebuild the project from
the provided source code, fixing the ILMerge command.
--- quote ---

Fortunately the devs fixed their build settings and/or machine with later
versions, the app now explicitly requests .NET Framework 4.5.x

https://github.com/chummer5a/chummer5a/releases/tag/5.195.0

Installing .NET 4.5 using 'winetricks -q dotnet452' lets the app run.

Alternatively use much older versions of the app which run with .NET 4.0
