EDIT (27.10.19) : It works also with Mojave but you still get a few errors. If you downgrade to High Sierra, it will work perfectly. Just be sure that you download the last STABLE Version of Wine (4.0.2) and also install winetricks.

I'm guessing you're using the last OS version (Catalina). From what I've found so far, 32-bit program support is going away on the Mac with Catalina, and atm there is no viable solution for this issue. RN, I'm facing the same issue. Still, I've found some kind of a workaround. Install wine via brew, use a 64bit version of the .exe that you're trying to install, and run the following command:

wine64 <your_program.exe>

If that still doesn't work, try downgraiding to Mojave, since it's the last OS version that supports 32bit apps. (That's what I'm going to do in the next few days, and I'll come back with an update)

Hope it helps !
