I have Heat working under Mandrake 10.1 using CX 4.1

Cool!

If you write a regression test for it using www.cxtest.org,
then we'll have a good chance of preventing regressions...

Interested to know if you got it running connected to an odbc connection to an ms sql server? brettcarr@ripe.net

I'm trying to install HEAT 8.3 Build 506 on my Mac with OS X 10.4.9 and CrossOver 6.1.0 demo.

It gets as far as the User License Agreement. I click on "I agree" and no matter if I check the boxes (I am an authorized dealer ... and/or I have read...) the "Next" button is never selectable so I can't get past that.

I notice that it has been a lot time since someone posted here so I'm not expecting any help.

I'm using Crossover 6.2.0 and was attempting to get HEAT 8.0.1 to work on my laptop with Ubuntu on it at work. I have been pretty successful with how far I've been able to get it but it still crashes on me. To get it to install I had to install the MDAC mentioned in the tips and tricks, I also needed to copy two dll's to the system32 folder (I cannot remember the exact ones off hand). Once it actually installed, I was able to configure the ODBC via the control panel tool with for that bottle with crossover. In my case I had to change the connection type to TCP for our server. The ODBC connections tests fine and the application starts up and gets to the point where it prompts me for my HEAT user name and password to sign in before it loads all the calls. However, once I login the application crashes. The wine error says something about an issue with an unsupported function from heat32.exe. I'll have to get the exact error messages when I next try the application.

However, Alert Monitor, the program that lets you see what calls you have open without going into HEAT and wasting a license, works perfectly fine. It prompts me to login and lists all my calls and the polling and all the other options seem to work fine.

It would be nice to get the actual HEAT program to work though.

I have doubts that I'll ever get a reply, but what the hell.

Mind sharing how you got it to work, as far as any additional things you had to install before installing HEAT? I've been trying to get it to work in Ubuntu Gutsy using 4.1 and I cant seem to get it to work. The MSI keeps bombing out before it even tries to install. I'm able to get MDAC and other requirements installed no problem. The log file in 4.1 isn't very helpful in letting me know what's causing it to fail either.

This is the only application that keeps me booting into Windows via VMWare each day, would be great not to have to do that lol.
