I've attempted a couple of times to install the Star Trek Online demo client (I don't have an installation disc that I can use). I'm using Crossover Games 10.1.0 on a 27" iMac (3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo/4 GB RAM/ATI Radeon HD 4850) running OS X 10.6.7 (all latest software updates applied).
I start the install using the Crosstie linked on the Star Trek Online page and point to the "ST.11.20110118b.10.exe" file that I previously downloaded from the Cryptic website.
Installation proceeds far enough for me to see the STO installer start to download the files it needs to install at which point am presented with a Crossover error informing me that the STO program will need to be shut down.
Here is an excerpt from the log file generated by Crossover:

There's much more to it but I didn't want to include the whole thing in the message. I suspect that this is related to the note in the installation notes telling me that if I am downloading the installer, I must use the "download via BitTorrent" link but for the life of me, I can't find a "download via BitTorrent" link anywhere.
Can I only use the Crosstie to install a full version of the game?
