Minitab 14 Forum

Installs but won't run if I put it in its own bottle. Following the thread for full Minitab 14, I put it in the bottle where the core fonts were (Office 2000 in my case), and also installed IE6 there. M14s then ran. As with the full version you cannot save a project from the menu but must use the command line. There I saved and reopened a project. All the high resolution graphics I tried gave runtime errors from Minitab (not CrossOver nor Linux). The ASCII "standard graphics" work but they do not seem to be on the menus. So you may need "Session Command Help" for those as well as saving projects but that did not work for me either. Going through the install again and selecting just Session Command Help installed a non-funcitoning help system but removed Minitab!-( I could not find Session Help as a file either on drive-c or the install CD (error messages suggested Minitab might have been looking for it on the Internet) but you can find a short version at www.austincc.edu/mparker/1342/tf/mm/Appendix.pdf.

Although the full version of Minitab is now 16, this is the latest student version AFAIK.

I am running Mepis 8.0 KDE 3.5 and my version of CrossOver is from May 2011.

Found that Mtb14sc.chm is Session Command Help. I installed KchmViewer which now has its own line on the context menu for this file and I can use that to open and read it outside of Minitab. The link above is probably the best place to start while the CHM file provides more complete and detaield coverage once you have an overview.
