Guide to get program running and camera connected

I installed this program, but it didn't work at first. I had to install the .Net 4 dependency into the same bottle as BackyardEOS to get it to run.

To install .Net 4 into the same bottle as BackyardEOS:

  1. Open Crossover and click the blue 'bottles' symbol in the upper left hand corner.
  2. In the grey table to the left select your ‘BackyardEOS’ bottle.
  3. Click 'Install Windows Application' and type in ‘.Net 4’.
  4. Select the ‘.Net 4’ that is in the drop down, then in a tab on the upper right click 'Select Bottle'.
  5. Choose your ‘BackyardEOS’ bottle and ‘.Net 4’ should download into that bottle!
  6. Launch your application.

Follow this guide below to try and get your camera to talk to the software:
