CodeWeavers tech support will also provide assistance when difculties arise with these programs. Community Supported Applications The users of the CodeWeavers CrossOver Compatibility Center have contributed instal- lation strategies for a long list of applications. These programs are not ofcially supported by CodeWeavers, but help may be available in the Compatibility Center forums.
Other Application If you wish to install software that is not otherwise listed, select the Other Applicationoption. Keep in mind, though, that unsupported software may work poorly or not at all. In addition, installing it in an existing bottle may prevent the other Windows applications in that bottle from working.
So it is generally recommended that unsupported applications be installed in a new bottle for testing purposes. Before installing an unlisted application, you may benet from looking it up in the CodeWeavers CrossOver Compatibility Center where you may nd tips and tricks on getting it to work.
Service Packs and Upgrades Many applications require downloadable service packs to be applied for best performance. The advisability of each package is indicated by the medal rating. Runtime Support Components In most cases you will not want to install the software in this section manually.
Many of these packages are requirements for the successful install of supported applications, and will be automatically installed as part of the predetermined install process. If it detects conicts between the selected package and the default bottle, the bottle panel will guide your installation into a more appropriate bottle.
When a volume is specied, the assistant will search that drive for an installer or autorun le. This option is the default, and will work for most cases where the application comes on a disk.
Choose Installer File. If you want to install software off your hard drive, or off a CD that contains several installers, select this option and specify the desired installer. In those cases, you will need to locate the installer le on the disk yourself, using this option.
This option is useful if the content of a CD has been copied into a folder on your local hard drive. It may also be necessary if you are installing from a disk that contains multiple installers in subdirectories.
The Choose Installer Folder. So if it does not contain an obvious installer or autorun le the installation will likely fail. For most of those, the assistant can automatically download the installers for you. Make sure that you have an active connection to the Internet if using this facility.
The assistant will cache downloaded installers. So if you install the same component frequently it should only require a single download. And if you have an installer le already located on your hard drive you can always select it via the Choose Installer File. The exception to this rule is when installing a service pack or upgrade, in which case you may need to manually select the bottle that contains the software to upgrade.
Various Windows installers may prompt you for interaction, while the assistant keeps a running tab of the completed steps. Canceling a step may result in an unrecoverable problem that will require you to discard the target bottle. Then click on the Repair or Remove. It may propose an uninstallation option if you insert its CD-ROM and start the installation procedure again.
Refer to your software documentation for other possible uninstallation options. Tip When removing an application, be sure to completely uninstall it, including any system extensions that were associated with it.
Otherwise, the Bottle Manager may not recognize that it has been uninstalled and you may have trouble reinstalling it. From the welcome window you can click on Install Windows Software to install Windows applications. This will display a Finder window with shortcuts to the Windows software which you have installed, as described in the section on Running Windows applications. If you do not want CrossOver to display the welcome window when it starts up, you may click the checkbox labeled Dont show this window at startup in the lower-left corner, and then close the welcome window.
It will not appear next time you launch CrossOver. If you want the welcome window to appear again, navigate to the Help Welcome menu.
You can then uncheck the Dont show this window at startup checkbox and CrossOver will again begin to display the welcome window every time you launch it. Each helper application will launch CrossOver and start the associated Windows program. You can customize this location via the Preferences Dialog. You can navigate inside of this folder and launch applications just as you would from any other Finder window on your Mac.
This will display a menu with your Windows software. An example is pictured below. You can restore all of these menus to their original state with the Congure Clear and Rebuild Programs Menu. This can be a useful way to run standard Wine tools such as regedit or notepad, and can also be used to run applications which dont create icons or shortcuts.
This dialog provides several logging and debugging functions as well. These options may be useful if you talk to CodeWeavers tech support or if you are trying to make an unsupported application behave. To display these options, click on the Debug Options reveal control. This may be useful for running text-only programs. Create log le If this option is turned on, CrossOver will prompt you for the name and location of a log le before the command is run.
This log le will contain a variety of debugging information about the run. Turning on specic logging channels will determine what information is written to the log le.
Many of these channels include a large volume of information, so generally they should be used singly or in pairs. You can terminate all of the applica- tions running in a given bottle by clicking on the Quit Bottle button in the Bottle Manager. Any unsaved changes to documents will be lost. You can access it from the Congure Manage Bottles. Each bottle contains a unique C: drive and all its standard folders: Windows, Program Files, etc. A bottle also contains a complete Windows registry, a full set of most CrossOver settings, and one or more Windows applications.
CrossOver allows you to maintain multiple bottles in one CrossOver installation. This is like having several different Windows machines operating together on your computer. This is useful any time you want to install multiple applications yet prevent them from interacting or damaging one another.
For instance you could test out a new version of Microsoft Ofce in one bottle while keeping an older one for your day to day needs in another bottle. Multiple bottles are also useful whenever a particular application requires special system settings that are otherwise undesirable.
It is also possible to maintain bottles that emulate different Windows versions. For instance you could run an ancient application that runs best in a Windows 98 bottle side by side with more modern ones that require a Windows XP bottle. The bottle manager allows you to create, delete, and modify the bottles in your CrossOver install. For the most part, the CrossOver Software Installer will take care of creating appropriate bottles, but this dialog provides more direct control.
You will have an opportunity to choose which Windows version the bottle emulates. Note that this removes all the applications, settings, and documents that are inside this bottle. Add From Archive. This button lets you pick a bottle archive created with the Make Archive. This also lets you pick the name of the newly restored bottle. Add Duplicate. This button allows you to create a duplicate of an existing bottle. The duplicate will contain the same applications and settings as the original.
Open C: Drive This button opens a new Finder window displaying the contents of the current bottles C: drive. The Windows version of a bottle, however, must be chosen when the bottle is created. When creating a new bottle to install a known Windows application CrossOvers Software Installer automatically picks the most appropriate Windows version. But if you are creating a bottle by hand you must pick one yourself. When installing unsupported applications, a good starting point is to pick whichever of Windows 98, Windows XP or Windows Vista was most current when the application was released.
If the rst try does not yield good results, your best guess is with one of the other versions in this list as the other versions usually yield the same results as one of these. A given installation of CrossOver may make use of both bottle types at once. Private bottles A private bottle is used by a single user, and is generally placed in that users home account.
Applications installed in a private bottle are unavailable for use by other users on a system. New bottles are always created in private mode. Published bottles Published bottles are created within the CrossOver subdirectory, and can be used by all the users on a system. Applications in a published bottle can be run by any user, and each user is able to congure and customize existing applications. Published bottles save space and time by requiring only a single installation of each Windows application.
However, some applications those not properly designed for multi-user use may perform erratically. When a user accesses a published bottle, a stub bottle will be created in their home account.
Stub bottles contain a users custom alterations to the bottle, and contain symbolic links that refer to most large les and directories in the published bottle. A stub bottle has the same name as the published bottle to which it refers.
Tip Published bottles are created using the Publish. Installed Applications This lists all of the software that CrossOver has installed. Because many software packages contain or depend on other items, you will often see items in this list that you did not explicitly install.
Install Software. To install new Windows applications in the selected bottle, click the Install Software. This will launch the CrossOver Software Installer which will guide you through the rest of the process. Repair or Remove. Some Windows applications can uninstall themselves; other packages contains automatic repair or modi- cation tools. In order to run these tools, select an item from the list and click Repair or Remove.
If the Repair or Remove. Tip The vast majority of settings on your system should be changed using the conguration tools that come packaged with your OS and distribution.
Most Windows control panels are unsupported applications, and their behavior may be unreliable, erratic, or destructive. In addition to the tools that are installed by software installers, CrossOver provides several built-in control panel tools. Simulate Reboot Some Windows applications require a system reboot to complete certain tasks. Also, occasionally, Windows programs get stuck in indeterminate states where their behavior is erratic or unreliable.
Both of these problems can be addressed without rebooting your system -- just launch the reboot tool and simulate a reboot within a specic bottle. Task Manager The task manager will display a list of processes running within a bottle. This tool may be useful to selectively halt programs which have stopped responding. Wine Conguration This tool provides access to a wide range of bottle conguration settings. This tool is occasionally useful for solving issues with system integration -- if you contact tech support, you may be instructed to make changes with it.
Most of the settings available here will be automatically set to reasonable defaults. Make Archive. This button creates a compressed archive of the selected bottle. It is often prudent to make a backup archive of a bottle before installing new software or modifying bottle settings.
Archives can be restored using the Add From Archive. It is a file format that most genealogical programs and online trees recognise. This problem appears to be fixed in Crossover v CrossOver Mac Version During the install process of V7 into a Crossover Bottle it will report errors and may hang whist installing the Nova PDF The Portable Document Format PDF is a file format developed by Adobe to present documents in their original formatting, independent of software, hardware, and operating systems.
PDF files can contain text, graphics, links, and buttons, form fields, audio, video, and driver Reports do not work.
They display a black screen in preview mode, unlike V6 which prints the report content correctly, V7 will print a black report to the printer. Fixed in V7. Version 7 introduced Research field is selected and just a formatting change is made then no save button is displayed.
To alter formatting additional text must be added to the note, formatting applied and then the additional text deleted, now a save button will be displayed. Citing your Sources helps to show how you reached a particular conclusion about an Individual. NET Framework V3. NET Framework option. Plugins Plugins downloaded from the Plugin Store sometimes will not import using the browser Open With option, although Save followed by an explicit Import command works OK.
Finally Save the cxbottle. Problems With Plugins The Plugins listed below may have limitations. It can be removed via the Installed Applications dialogue Repair or Remove button. If you are installing from a CD, you can skip this step.
Follow the instructions in the program's installer, just as you would with a standard Window installation. Let the program install to its default location, even though it will look more like a Windows hard-drive location than an OS X location.

Home Software. Choose the program from Crossover's "Programs" menu. Your program should now begin to run. Make sure that running an EXE file on your Mac is really necessary. Many Windows programs have versions for OS X. Some programs may run best when in a Windows XP bottle, and others may run better in a Windows bottle.
