I was able to solve the problem by downloading the version compatible with Java 8. Java 6 has not been supported in Mac OS since macOS 10.7 Lion. If I remember correctly, it is more than likely a Mac OS prompt, that prevents the program from running. I was able to accept the prompt for Frost Wire years ago which allows me to still run the software.

Forgot to ask, does the WireShare program 'Get Info' option have any compatibility options?
The program seems to crash at start, I tried getting the about window to open to no avail. It must be that Mac OS Java prompt that keeps the program from working properly.

It might be the prompt attached I don't remember exactly, the problem is that the prompt is in Java 6, and is not visible in any newer version of Java. The irony.


Thanks for all your help guys,

Excellent news, thank you for the feedback.

Only if run in 32-bit. Apple's java 6 was both 32 and 64 bit capable and is at least compatible with os 10. Depends how java 6 is set in the app.
I have apps (such as WireShare) that use Java 6 on El Capitan 10.11 and there are java 6 updates available for the later macos (10.12+) releases.

I meant the Finder information window about the app, not after the program has opened. Sorry I should have been more specific.
