Working well

This version works well under Crossover 10
Best to install all dependencies before installing rather than let the installer do it [i.e. JET/MDAC/IE. etc.]

Hi Bruce,

Would you be kind enough to document exactly which dependencies and packages are required to get this working? I'm struggling a bit trying to work them out and would appreciate some further guidance.

Give this a go. Just did it then to confirm process:

Metastock 8.0/9.0 installation

Installation Requirements:
Microsoft C++ Runtime and ATL
Microsoft Jet Database v4.0 SP6 and MDAC v2.8
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0

Note - I install the required components BEFORE installing Metastock 8.0

  1. Create new WinXP Bottle
  2. Install Software > From Runtime Support Components
    • Microsoft Data Access Components MDAC v2.8 Service Pack 1
    • Microsoft Jet Database v4.0 SP8
    • Microsoft C++ 6.0 Redistributable
    • Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
    • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0

Once Done, click again the Install software, "Select an installer", "Choose Install File" and locate the folder where setup.exe resides. Select Setup.exe then "Proceed"
This then puts you back at the main software installer screen [bit confusing TBH…] so just select under "Unsupported Application" > "Other Application" - then "install"

This should be the normal install process as all dependency components are already installed.

finally - the installer will want to reboot [a few times] - do so then if it keep rebooting - just select no to get out of the reboot loop.

All done!

You can then run the app [Metastock Professional] - you will get an error message about: A CreateFont error occurred while loading the symbols font: c:\Program Files\Equis\Metastock\equis.ttf

Not sure at this stage how to get around this error message but just click 'OK' to run Metastock!

Enjoy!
