DLTCEP 7.5c wrapper

I got DLTCEP to work on my Mac, and it had one tricky bit -- the program can't handle a path to BGEE which originates outside the emulated MSWindows filesystem, so I had to trick it with a symlink. Other than that it's a straightforward install using Wineskin Winery and the newest Wine (1.5.23).

This is where I found the executable wrapped (below). I don't see any license either allowing or prohibiting redistribution, but I'll happily take down the wrapper if I've done something that's not kosher.

The Wrapper:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dgjwq4crv1n2vtc/DLTCEP-7.5c.tgz?m

Here's how to use it:
- Download the tgz file.
- Put the file in your home directory: /Users/yourname/DLTCEP-7.5c.tgz
- Open up Terminal.app, and type this:
cd ~
tar xzvf DLTCEP-7.5c.tgz

Done! At this point you should now have a file in your home directory:
/Users/yourname/Applications/Wineskin/DLTCEP-7.5c.app

As usual, this is released as it-works-for-me grade software, so it might destroy your home and insult your mother. Use at your own risk, and please let me know if it misbehaves.

    Thanks for the wrapper!

    It starts alright, but I have some problems when doing the setup. Specifically to specify the location of the chitin.key file.
    I have tried to edit the location, but that field is greyed so I can't change it from "c:\program files\bgee\chitin.key". The reason I'm trying to change the setup is because the program can't find any items (and I'm not able to load external files either..).

    Anyone have any ideas?

    @paltis - What is the location of your BGEE install? The wrapper creates a link called "bgee" inside the wrapper to the Resources directory of the Beamdog install. I'm not sure if the Mac App Store installs to the same location.

    EDIT: Here's a link to a wrapped version of the latest DLTCEP 7.6g.

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80058200/DLTCEP7.6g_OSX.zip

    It's got settings created for both BG:EE and BG2:EE. Since the program doesn't cope with paths outside the emulated Windows filesystem, I used @Nifft's trick of creating links in the C:\Program Files\ directory inside the wrapper to the Resources directories for BG:EE and BG2:EE. Note that if your installation locations are not the default Beamdog locations, there will be some tweaking necessary.
