UltraRecall Pro 6.2 PIM as of August 6, 2021
My notes on Installation and running of Ultra Recall using Crossover
TESTING shows Ultra Recall is NOT 100% but seems to be usable.
TESTING is NOT complete
Notes have been updated to reflect use of Crossover 21RC in Testing
Ultra Recall Pro 32 bit version now runs +90% under Crossover 21, “with tweaks.”
Ultra Recall Pro 64 bit does NOT run with any version of Crossover or tweaks
Installing 32 bit version
Install will fail if you allow UltraRecall to execute on completion of its portion of the install,
The Crossover portion of the installation will not complete.
,
ie., the Crossover install screen looks like it is still trying to install the UltraRecall software.
Solution..
UNCHECK the box to run UltraRecall on completion..
THEN click FINISH in the UR window, and wait for crossover to complete
When installing UltraRecall Portable version it will start automatically...
STOP UR and wait for crossover to complete
AGAIN,,,, If allow Ultra Recall run on install, Crossover will not finish !!
Now my saga with getting UltraRecall 32bit to work…
