Watchtower Library 2007 Forum

Good news!

Watchtower Library 2007 works with the upcoming CrossOver version 7! It's a good reason to maintain your subscription. The new version will be based on Wine 0.9.53 or above. So resolves the issues with 6.2.1 and Watchtower Library 2007.

Follow the five steps below.

1. Create a new XP bottle.

2. Install Watchtower Library 2007. The installer runs without problems.

3. Copy a native comctl32.dll from your Windows installation to windows/system32. Overwrite the default built-in version created within your new bottle.

Try version 6.0.0.0; you'll find it in your Windows subdirectory under WinSxS. Look under WINDOWS/WinSxS/x86_Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.0.0_x-ww_1382d70a and copy the comctl32.dll file that you find here to windows/system32 within the new bottle. Of course, you need a valid Windows license for this step. Caesar's things to Caesar!

4. Delete the "dead beef" manifest. It lives under windows/winsxs/manifests. Look for a file named x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.2600.2982_none_deadbeef.manifest and delete. If you don't delete (or rename) this, the native comctl32.dll does not load.

5. Override comctl32 using winecfg.

Go to CrossOver's Configure menu. Select Manage Bottles. Click the Control Panel tab. Launch winecfg.

Add an application. Select WTLibrary.exe then (while WTLibrary.exe is selected!) switch to Libraries. Add an override for comctl32. Choose "native, builtin". Click OK once added.

Now you can run the library.

What works?
Almost everything: tooltips, properties, audio. You can mark favourites; they appear although they do not work when you double-click them from Finder. They only work by selecting from the Favorites menu.

What doesn't work?
Maps. Go to Brochures, go to "Good Land." You can read the text, but click on any map icon and the application crashes.

Testing
I've tested it on Intel Mac, Leopard 10.5, using CrossOver Mac version 7cvs (080114).

Stability
The application is not entirely stable. Not uncommonly, the application fails to start. Once started though, it appears to run without problems, provided of course you don't click on maps. Rebooting the bottle helps. I'm currently working on the stability issue.

Regards,
Roy

Thanks very much for the detailed information, especially about how to load the native version of COMCTL32.DLL. I'm going to do my best to spread this news around. There is a lot of pent up demand by JWs using Macs for a lean and mean solution to running WT Library.

Thanks again!

Dear Frederick,

I know what you mean! Mac-using brothers and sisters are not the rare item they once were, it seems; our KH at Lancaster (UK) currently has four.

Warm Christian love to you and the brothers in Mexico!

Hi Roy,

I am just wondering: why do you mention Windows because I thought that CrossOver's purpose is to be able to run Windows application without Windows…
I’ve got Boot Camp so if I needed Windows to run it I’d use this… Sorry for that question but as you probably can see I am new to Mac so I don’t really know much about that.

Dear Alex,

That's a good question! Thanks for asking it. You are right. CrossOver runs Windows applications without Windows!

However, the situation is like this: CrossOver relies on an open source project called Wine (see www.winehq.org). This project has been running for over ten years trying to create software that will allow users to run applications originally designed only for actual Microsoft Windows on other non-Windows Unix-like platforms, like Mac.

Of course, Microsoft has not co-operated in this effort, nor provided any information to make it possible. The engineers working on the project have done it entirely from scratch using only publicly-accessible developer documentation. This has required a lot of hard work and ingenuity. But can never achieve truly 100% compatibility without access to the internal workings of Windows, i.e. its proprietary source code.

As it stands, CrossOver (with Wine underneath) does an excellent job. Most of the time it works. Sometimes however, it doesn't! This is why I mention a genuine Windows component (COMCTL32.DLL) above. This particular "piece" of genuine Microsoft Windows is not currently supported in its entirety under Wine. Some things just don't work correctly at present.

Plugging in genuine pieces of Windows can sometimes help. This is the case with Watchtower Library. Wine lets you mix emulated code with genuine code. For the Watchtower Library, plugging in a real COMCTL32 component from Microsoft fixes the tooltip issue.

Hope that makes things clearer.
Regards, Roy

Thank you, Roy.
Yes, it helped. May I have another question? I suppose there shouldn’t be a difference between a trial version (which is the one I downloaded to have a try) and the one you purchase but the thing is that after an installation of my WTL (which seems ok) when I try to run it, there is a error message saying that it doesn’t have an access to the data files… Would it be possible to e-mail you instead of this forum thing (hope it is not too impudent)? It seems to me a better way. Don’t worry if you don’t want to I do appreciate you are busy and do this in your free time… In any case here is my e-mail: kostoglotov(AT)seznam(DOT)cz.
Cheers.

Please keep asking questions. I'll do my best to answer them. Others may be able to help out too. Who knows?!

Anyway, back to your question. Sorry to answer with a question, but which edition of Watchtower Library are you installing? If the answer is 2007 edition, note that CrossOver does not work with 2007 yet. The upcoming CrossOver version 7 does, but the current release (6.2.1) has the problem you describe.

The best workaround is to install 2006 edition Watchtower Reader then replace the data files with those from the 2007 Library edition. For details, see the "2007 data with 2006 software" thread in this forum.

Concerning mailing directly, my only reservation is that others will be unable to benefit from the discussion. The forum allows everyone else to read and learn how to run the Library on their computer. So, I'd prefer to keep your questions and my responses (and others' perhaps) here in the forum. That way more people can benefit.

P.S. I've munged your e-mail address in the previous post to save you from spammers. Posting your e-mail address on a public forum can sometimes increase the amount of spam you receive because junksters like to "harvest" addresses by automatically scanning public postings. CodeWeavers' forums may not be exactly in their bull's eye, but just in case!

Thank you Roy.
I’ll read more carefully next time ;) I’ll wait for the version 7 since I can use PC in my office meanwhile. Reason why I have placed there my e-mail (which I use only for registrations etc, I didn’t put there my private) is that I am really desperate to run in on my mac so I’d be willing to travel somewhere and pay someone to make it work and since you are from UK as well as me... Doesn’t matter – I am glad that I won’t need it (hopefully). Btw. when is this version 7 due to be released?
Thank you a lot mate.
Marek

You are welcome!

I recommend that you try following the guide on how to use 2007's data with the 2006 Reader. I've now added the intructions as a tip; see Tips and Tricks, or click this link.

I've tried to make the instructions simple and easy-to-follow. But perhaps not easy enough. Please try it and post your feedback. That way we can improve the guide for everyone.

Regarding the next release, I don't know when it's due to come out. I'll try to find out.

I've been in touch with the staff at CodeWeavers. No firm dates have been set at present. The precise date depends on development progress. However, it will likely be at end of March 2008. So not too long to wait. Of course, it's an estimate. Still, it's a good reason to maintain your subscription if you have one.

Hi Roy,

Excellent!!!

It works well after following your advice in Tips and Tricks. Ive got one more question though. When I wanted to copy that rs_data file I couldnt find the bottle. The only thing I can see in Applications/CrossOver/Watchtower reader is the executable file Watchtower Reader English.app so I instinctively pasted the file there and it turned to be the right place. Just wondering where can I find this bottle with all the files in case Ill need it. Or might it be that they are just hidden? Dont know
The only thing, which doesnt work is a daily text as well as the preview of the scriptures but I guess I can try to fix it with the above-mentioned steps?
Anyway: thank you very very much. For your valuable advice as well as patience with me

Cheers,
Marek

Thanks for following the guide. You've uncovered a problem: it's not clear how to location the bottle's rs_data folder. My fault. I'll try to make it clearer.

I've added a new tip entitled "How to Locate the rs_data Folder Within a Bottle". Please try following these new instructions on how to locate the place to copy the rs_data from the 2007 CD-ROM.

Glad to help. You're also helping! I'm sure you're not the only one having similar problems. It's not exactly straightforward is it? Never mind. So it's a good thing you're sticking you neck out asking questions. Thank you. Hopefully others will benefit from the answers too.

Hello, I have two questions:

1. Will there be a beta release of CrossOver v7 before the actual release?
2. Is it possible to copy a native comctl32.dll from Windows Me or Windows 98 to use with CrossOver?

As I can see, I am able to use Watchtower Library 2007 if I don't make a hard drive install.

kind regards Jonas

Thanks for your questions. Your first is a good one. But not one I know the answer to! However, I've directed your question to the kind and very supportive staff at CodeWeavers. They tell me: probably not! After an internal testing phase, CrossOver 7 will go straight to release, hopefully by the beginning of March. Excellent news!

Jonas wrote:

   Windows 98 to use with CrossOver?

Your second question is more difficult to answer easily. In fact, there are many versions of comctl32.dll! I mean not just one version for each edition of Windows. Service packs over the years have added many versions of this (and other) DLL files. Scanning a Windows installation may reveal multiple versions coexisting. Some of these seem to work better than others when it comes to running Watchtower Library software.

Regarding old versions of Windows, e.g. 98, 98SE and ME, they belong to an entirely different branch of Windows. I haven't tried using comctl32 from these versions myself. Has anyone else had any experience with them? From my own experience, Watchtower Library seems to operate best using version 6.0.0.0 comctl32 found in XP. There are later versions, but I've found this one more stable. I've added a tip to the Tips & Tricks section on how to install the native comctl32 component.

Jonas wrote:

You should be able to fully install the Library to the hard drive. It works much better that way: faster, more convenient. Disk space requirements are quite modest for most computers these days.

Hi... not sure if anyone is still watching this thread... I just downloaded an evaluation copy of Crossover so I could install Watchtower Library on my MacBook running OSX Leopard. I've got it kind of running, with similar bugs to those described above with it crashing if I try to use the back, forward, or home buttons. Also if I've clicked on an article, and then I click back on "All Publications"... it does nothing.

I used the workaround described in tips and tricks, and I am still just a little confused about the windows thing... Does the comctl32.dll file need to be from a version of windows that is installed on your mac? Or can it be from a windows PC that you own in your house?

The other question is regarding deleting the dead beef manifest... is this on the pc or on the mac? Finder could not find a file containing deadbeef.manifest anywhere on my mac.

Sorry if my questions seem a bit naive, I'm just learning to make my mac play nicely with some windows programs. Any help would be appreciated... Thank you!

Hi Jasmine! Yes, someone is still watching. Although things have been a little quiet recently. I think the silence is in anticipation of the upcoming version 7 release.

No to the first question. You don't need Windows installed on your Mac at all. Yes to the second question. You only need to transfer comctl32.dll (just that file only) from a version of Microsoft Windows you are licensed to use.

Jasmine wrote:

Only on your Mac! Please don't delete files from your Windows system; doing so will likely cause problems. Regarding searching using Finder: it does not index the contents of the application support folders, so will not pull up the contents of the bottle. You need to open CrossOver's C: drive folder. Tips and Tricks has some guidance on that subject.

Not at all, thanks for asking. Glad to help. It's not entirely straightforward, I know. Sorry about that.

Thank you so much for your help... I got it working. I wouldn't have been able to do it without your detailed notes on this forum... thank you so much!

Been using the 2007 with the 2006 method,thanks Roy! I dont have audio or extract audio.
is version 7 out or is it just a beta version ,& where did you get it?

It is a private beta available for advocates.

@Advocates: Please do not discuss the nightlies and private betas in the public forums

Oh also , I am running Tiger ,& dont want to change. dont know if that makes a difference or not!?

I just got my Watchtower Reader 2006 running with the 2007 data and am happy with it. Thanks so much for the detailed tips on how to work around the incompatibilities of the 2007 Library!! Looking forward to the version 7 update, though.

Regarding Tiger compatibility: it seems that CrossOver will continue to support OS X 10.4, although it reportedly works more efficiently on Leopard. I ran it on both and it worked fine. Briefly scanning the Advocate Center Forums, I've noticed that some are still testing CrossOver using Tiger. We can probably assume therefore that CrossOver's support for 10.4 will continue, at least for the time being.
B wrote:

Regarding your audio problems, could you provide more details. What do you mean by "extract" audio?

We do not plan to drop support for Tiger anytime soon, and I am still running Tiger myself, but Leopard has fixes and improvements in a number of places. One is the Kernel, which has some APIs fixed CrossOver uses for better performance. The other areas are graphics drivers. For example, Leopard has support for GL_EXT_texture_sRGB, an OpenGL extension that is a mandatory feature for DirectX9 and many games, like Half Life 2 require it. Also the recent graphics driver bugfix, which is only available for Leopard fixed a few performance issues and other bugs.

We'll continue to support and test Tiger, but if we are running into a problem on Tiger that is fixed on Leopard, and we can isolate the problem to be sure about this, then we will not put much effort into writing a workaround for Tiger.

Roy I meant the "pronounce" function or "extract" pronouncable words does not work.

Thanks for the info Stefan!

Is version 7 coming out soon ? I am only using the 30 day version but would definitely buy the verson 7 if its running evreything somewhat smoothely? & I know a couple of people who would also.

B wrote:

There are a few minor issues outstanding, it's true. For instance, maps do not display, favourites do not work too well. But as for audio, I've found it always working in all versions of Watchtower Library and OS X. Strange!

So to sum up your problem: you navigate say to the Insight volumes, click on a speaker icon but hear nothing. Is that what you're finding?

B wrote:

The last I heard, it could be expected at end of March or thereabouts. See post above dated 2008-01-31 10:25. From the Beta Center Forums, it seems that beta testing for version 7 will start in a few weeks, as of 3rd March. So realistically, we might expect final release for version 7 around late March, early April perhaps.

Maybe Stefan can help us out!

We're working hard on it. Right now it's looking like end of March or early April,
but we won't ship until we feel it's right, so please don't hold my feet to the fire if
we slip.

Jeremy

Wow! Jeremy. The founder and CEO Jeremy! Thanks for posting to our tiny corner of the CrossOver world. Thanks for the update. We won't hold you to it. We're asking you how long is a piece of string and we appreciate your estimate. We'll try to be patient! Regards to you and your team for all the hard work.

Yes, the speaker is greyed out & it does nothing, again I am just running the '07 in th '06.

I see. Am I also correct in saying you're running the demo version of CrossOver on Tiger? Other variables include your particular machine, but my guess is that there is some audio compatibility problem with your particular combination of software and possibly also hardware.

Sometimes this happens. Probably the best solution for now is to accept the limitation. When CrossOver 7 comes out you can run Library '07 program and data together: the latest with the latest. I suspect that very likely your problem will then just disappear. If it doesn't, you may have some issues with your hardware.

I'm assuming CrossOver's audio configuration has not gone amiss. You might want to check it out: select Manage Bottles from the Configure menu.

Choose the bottle from the left-hand panel. Select the Control Panel tab and launch winecfg. Wine configuration panel opens up. Click the Audio tab. You should find CoreAudio Driver box checked with a tick mark beside it. Click the Test Sound button. Do you hear anything?

Yes it is the demo on tiger, tried but there is no test audio button, only a control panel button that says "launching audio control panel not yet implemented", when I click it.
Also If I buy this version of crossover , does it cost me to update when the version 7 comes out?

I haven't tried the demo version but it sounds like audio support has limitations; audio works without problem on version 6.2.x and 7.

When you purchase CrossOver Mac you are buying a 12 month subscription. This includes limited levels of support, plus updates. The support FAQ puts it this way:
Customers of CrossOver Linux Pro, CrossOver Mac, and CrossOver Server, are entitled to 1 year of support and product upgrades.
Unless you really can't wait therefore, you're probably better hanging on for version 7's release before purchasing. That way you'll extend your support period to its maximum.

Hello Folks, I have been following the thread here regarding the WT Library. When will Crossover Version 7 be available? I signed up to give this a try for downloading the WT Lib 2007, but no success. I am going to purchase the Crossover program as I want to use my MS programs that are shown to get support with Crossover. I am a novice and new to Macs. So the description rendered here for getting 2007 to work is a bit scary. Hoping with V7 it will be possible to let it all happen automatically. Possible? Also, it doesn't seem that WT Lib 2006 is supported either. Am I correct on this? So sad not to be able to get this installed on my new Mac. But, still have a Windows laptop, so will get by for now. Thanks for all you do, and your help in this regard. Moving forward here.

RayM

Hold it. I jumped to the next step and installed WT Lib 2006, and it loaded. Have not navigated it much yet, and seems slow, but I have my Library on my Mac. Yay!! Will standby for the V7, which appears not too far away for release yet, per the thread comments. Will move forward with what I have, and look forward to what I will get. Also, purchasing the CO software. Thanks. From a novice, this is a great forum!

Hi Raymond,

Version 7's out soon: end of March, early April.

I know what you mean! It "sounds" a lot more difficult than it really is. Actually, you can just install Watchtower Library '06/07 just as if your Mac was running Windows: insert the CD, dialog boxes pop up looking like Windows; it installs and runs.

The only main niggle relates to tool tips and (in '07) the left-hand custom-draw control panel.

I keep toying with the idea of writing a little application to install and configure the Watchtower library automatically, just to make it a trivial exercise. But it's really just a matter of copying a file from a Windows installation to your Mac, changing a few settings.

Despite the minor issues however, I still think CrossOver is the best solution to running Watchtower Library on Mac. Alternatives are VMware or Parallels. Although they are the "ultimate" solution in a sense, they have big draw backs: you need to install Windows itself. This means you need a Windows license (cost disadvantage) and disk space because you need to install it on the hard drive. CrossOver only eats up about 160MB. Compare this to a Windows XP installation!

Overall therefore, CrossOver minimises both cost and space. If you only need to run Watchtower Library on Mac, CrossOver is a winner.

Roy, just bought/installed Crossover, couldnt wait for the next version! But i re-installed 2006 library & it had audio, but when I replace w the 07 it is disabled, weird, am I supposed to leave the old data or erase it?

Dear B,

No, you don't need to erase the old '06 data. Replacing does that automatically.

I must confess, I didn't test audio when running '07 data with '06 software. There could be an incompatibility between the two versions when it comes to audio. It wouldn't be surprising! And it might be worth debugging if version 7 wasn't coming out very soon. But probably isn't: in a few weeks you'll be running CrossOver version 7 with library '07 (software and data).

Regards, Roy

Roy , thanks!
Well for now I have 06 & the 06/07 data both installed, so I think I am going to use it that way till the newer crossover comes out,but I just want to say thanks I am more than pleased with results!!! & not having to run a full version of windows is exactly what I wanted, I am still running Virtual PC on my old desktop imac! Man is that slow & annoying.
THANKS AGAIN for all the research/info. & hints!!

I have just installed CrossOver Games, and WtLib 07 works fine. (except those little pop up thingies)

Maps does not work.

Hi!
I found this thread really helpful.
Thank you very very much.

I also noticed that with Crossover Games WTLIB 2007 works.

But I noticed that in every version of Crossover, when I make the comctl32.dll trick, after that graphic of WTLIB (buttons of publications and arrows) everything looks worse then before (I mean without comctl32's override). Is that normal? As I see in screenshots' page that's normal (the screenshot about WTLIB in Crossover games without override looks normal, other ones with override looks, like for me, worse. Any fix for that? Also I'd like to ask if there is a way to install the WT fonts in the same way that can do with ubuntu to fix the problem with "M" and "*" in bible's pages?
Any help really appreciated!!!
Best regards.
Renato Zanini

Yes, I'm afraid (for now) it's normal! Currently there are four outstanding minor problems: black background icons you mention; maps that Patrik mentions; M and ***** font problem, as you say; and favourites from Finder. I've added a section on What Doesn't Work to the tips and tricks. Hopefully, these will eventually find a resolution. I've already started looking at the maps problem; it seems the most significant non-function. I've also tried switching in the replacement fonts at arno.homelinux.org but no joy yet. Work in progress.

Regards, Roy

Hello Roy. My name is Stuart Tipton. I am also a big user of Watchtower library. I have it installed on CrossOver Games, and it works fairly well, except that the tool-tips don´t work. (It didn´t want to work on CrossOver 6.2.) I work with both the English and Spanish versions of Watchtower Library, and when they are both installed in the same bottle they syncronize back and forth just fine.
Is there a way to get the tool-tips to work?
I appreciate any suggestions you might have.
The guys at Codeweavers told me that CrossOver 7 won´t be out for a while yet.
Thanks.
Stuart.

Dear Stuart,
You can find some instructions on how to resolve the tool tips problem in the Tips and Tricks section (the last tab at the top of the forum, or follow this link http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=3855;tips=1). Please have a look at the section concerning How to Resolve the COMCTL32 Issue. Sorry about the rather cryptic title. It doesn't clearly identify the problem it solves, rather just highlights the solution. I've fixed this by adding what it really means, i.e. getting tool tips to work! Thanks.

Any problems, please let me know. Kind regards, Roy

No word on version 7 yet?

No problem whatsoever! My first attempt at serious computer programming, done with much fear and trepidation, and it works!
Thanks. Keep up the good work. I had bought Parallels with my Mac mini, but it kept crashing, and Apple was kind enough to buy it back from me, and CrossOver does what I need it to do, and I don‘t even have to buy a copy of Windows.
Again Thanks.
Stuart.

None as far as I know, regarding CrossOver Mac version 7. However, CodeWeavers have kindly given CrossOver Mac users free access to their CrossOver Games edition. This is version 7. So works well with the latest edition of Watchtower Library.
