Hi, everyone,

It turns out that the Illustrator.exe needs to be started from within the "Support Files/Contents/Windows" subdirectory. This subdirectory contains the EXE file as well as the application-specific DLLs. If you start the app from some other directory, it can't find the DLLs and you'll get lots of error messages.

A script such as the following is sufficient to get illustrator started from the command line. Probably there are more elegant ways to configure things in
Cross Over Office, but I haven't bothered to investigate other options yet. In any case, the following solution for the impatient works just fine:

!/bin/sh

cd ~/.cxoffice/dotwine/fake_windows/Program\ Files/Adobe/Illustrator\ 10/Support\ Files/Contents/Windows && /opt/cxoffice/bin/wine --check ./Illustrator.exe &
