Same Problem with CX 8.0.0 final and german Version of Live-sync.

Using: http://www.codeweavers.com/beta/crossover/download/ia32-crossover-games-demo_8.1.0rc1-1_amd64.deb

the file install correctly from :
https://sync.live.com/download/en/WindowsLiveSync.msi

the folder shortcut is created but empty ...

so I try to start it by hand :
/opt/cxgames/bin/wine /home/rzr/.cxgames/tmp/drive_c/Program\ Files/Windows\ Live/Sync/WindowsLiveSync.exe

complained about default bottle

/opt/cxgames/bin/cxbottlemanager

set tmp as default

/opt/cxgames/bin/wine /home/rzr/.cxgames/tmp/drive_c/Program\ Files/Windows\ Live/Sync/WindowsLiveSync.exe

form display ok , then pop up error : "something went wrong..."

Hope this help, I can fill this in the forums too

Regards
