#Please note, depending on how you installed CrossOver, /opt should be replaced with ~

#Create an empty bottle
/opt/cxoffice/bin/cxbottle --bottle moc-winxp --delete --uninstall
/opt/cxoffice/bin/cxbottle --bottle moc-winxp --create --template winxp --install

#Hack to get recognizable C: drive for VC++ 2008 runtime
cd ~/.cxoffice/moc-winxp
mv drive_c harddisk0
ln -s harddisk0 drive_c
rm dosdevices/c:
ln -sf ../harddisk0 dosdevices/c:
