I'm installing a windows program on a mac with Wine, When I try to install I get the error Prefix Creation Aborted and the following log:
###BOTTLING### default.sh` ###BOTTLING### Gathering debug Info...

Not a problem with winetrick. Did you read the error message? It says:
mkdir: /Volumes/REA's TESTware/B Read-only file system
The sentence
Read-only file system
is repeated a few times, until of course we are told that:
chdir to /Volumes/REA's TESTware/B : No such file or directory
which occurs because the filesystem being read-only, no files or directories can be created .
You have to deal with the fact you cannot write onto this disk. You may get around that perhaps by running the same program as root. If that fails, you will have to investigate read/write permissions in these folders, or perhaps the disk. But I believe the first option (running the install program as sudo) will fix your problem.
