FL Studio 12 Forum

Hi, I am a complete novice - both to Crossover (Linux) and Linux itself.
<Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 on a Dell XPS 15 Laptop - dual boot with Windows 10.>
Using the trial version of CrossOver (whatever version was current around May, 2016) under Mint 17.3 the Fl Studio 12.3 installer failed as the "what works" database indicates. But I found that I could run the cross-tie installer for FL Studio 11 and then install FL 12.3 into that bottle and it installed and ran just fine there. FANTASTIC!

Then upgraded Linux Mint 18 (clean install) - so lost my trial Crossover setup & bottles. I purchased the licensed version of Crossover (V.15.1.0). Again, as the site indicates, the FL 12.3 installer still fails to run when I try to install into a new bottle (following all the suggestions I could find on the this site for any version of FL Studio).
So I did as before - installed FL11 using the cross-tie first. But this time the FL12.3 installer still fails when I try to install into the FL 11 bottle. DISAPPOINTING.

It appears that some people have gotten FL 12.3 to work (from comments and screenshots) so I would sure appreciate some suggestions or instructions on how I might get it installed.

Sorry - it was the FL Studio 12.2 installer that I have been trying to run, not 12.3 (that one is still in beta).

Success! Tried again creating a new XP bottle and installing dependencies using the Wine Application database forum as a guide. Anyone interested should probably see what is current there. I probably added many more components than necessary - NET 2 & 3.5 and the Mono package, directx9 + service packs, visual C++ 2008-2015, vcrun6+sp6, along with the corefonts and droid fonts. Then installed the 'unknown' installer for FL 12.2. I de-selected Asio-for-All in the installer since by all accounts it does not run under Wine. The new FL-Asio works quite well, though!

Cinnamon Mint crashed at the end of the installation process but it seems to have installed okay and runs fine. Success! Many thanks!
