mac – Using WINE on Catalina / opening Freehand files

I have a Mac updated to Catalina, on which I’ve installed Wine 1.8.6. I use Wine just to launch the legacy app Freehand (in a Windows version), to convert some old graphic files.

However, I am surprised that many versions of Wine don’t install on Catalina. v1.8.6 was the only one that I was able to install; and when I go to launch an .exe file,, Wine gives me an error:

Prefix creation exited with error – You find a logfile to help with
debugging on your desktop.

I don’t know how to fix this problem. Anybody know a good and straightforward solution?
