I tried installing version 4 (4.0.12) in previous versions of crossover and the product would fail to completely install by itself, and then run. I ended up manually installing and creating directories, but got stuck on the run bit.
Now with Crossover 11, the bottle I previously had installed runs! Yay!
Here are some of the notable details I encountered.
- During the installation (with previous xover version), it will appear to hang. This has to do with an XCOPY command not finishing. I ended up copying the files it was attempting to copy manually (looking at the /proc/xxxxx/cmdline file and reproducing it with
cp), then killing the XCOPY command, and the installation process finished. - Applications I have installed in my running bottle:
Adobe AIR
Adobe AIR 2.x
Apple Software Update
CrossOver HTML engine
QuickTime 7
Rosetta Stone Ltd Services
Rosetta Stone TOTALe - I may have had to install the AIR and Quicktime runtimes separately - I don't remember.
- Activation doesn't work - it complains that there isn't an internet connection to do so, however on startup it nags me about an update to version 4.1.10, so I know it is actually connecting to the internet :/
- Don't choose "Full screen display"! It doesn't work properly (at least for me with dual screens, in ubuntu 10.04)
- Microphone still doesn't work - it reports error code 1117. I see from the outstanding bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14559 that it has been fixed in git. Hopefully the codeweavers guys suck the latest wine into 11 and release an 11.0.4 version.
- Help didn't seem to work quite right until I installed IE7 into the bottle.
Notes: even though it nags me about the update, I haven't tried it yet. When I do, I'll post an update.
Hope this helps!
