Just for the masochists who wish, have 32bit beta running stable on MBP using Crossover (Commercial version of Wine with some usability enhancements).
It’s an okay experience, probably the same as Linux users are achieving. Only tried it because I was given a free license for Crossover through work.
I run the 64 bit V3 beta on Mac under Parallels which is a whole nicer experience. Even nicer than running the beta on my Win desktop.
I’ve installed the 64-but Beta 42 under Crossover 19 on my Mac and it runs fine. I’ve yet to install Beta 43. I use it for when my collaborator asks me for help with something; any problems I have are down to unfamiliarity with things Windows … and having to workout how to get to our projects.
As she’s running 64-bit Windows 10, I haven’t bothered with 32-bit.

How did you get 64 bit running? I received an error and something about 32 bit only. As it was a quick install without any investigation of options just plowed with the 32. Would prefer to install 64.
In the installation process, starting from
I think if you don’t actively select the bottle, it defaults to a 32-bit Windows 7 Bottle and fails because your .exe is 64-bit.
Also, I think I once managed to install it on a Windows 10 64-bit Bottle, but it was flaky, if I remember rightly, whereas Windows 7 seems rock solid. I can also confirm that the Scrivener Betas are now exiting cleanly.

Thanks for that, I did a quick look and saw the missed step of selecting a 64bit bottle. already have it installed and just came back to kill the previous post
I installed Win 7 just because I prefer that to 10
