CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hi,
I'm using crossover-linux for about 2 years on my Ubuntu - Thanks a lot to Codeweavers team for permanent support and improvements of this great program!

In my turn, I'd like to help as I can in this development and post the bugs I encountered on my new installation of crossover-linux-9.0.0.

General system info:
Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) 64-bit
Crossover linux Professional 64-bit 9.0.0 - installed anew (I never install new versions over the old ones - it helps prevent lots of bugs!)

Bugs encountered (it all worked OK in the previous ia32-crossover-pro_8.0.3-1_amd64):

1) Installation of some programs breaks 'Windows Applications' menu - the program installs, but after installation 'Refreshing menus' fails (all the icons in the menu dissapear and the links don't work); the only way to correct it - is to delete the bottle and restore the archive (or create a new bottle).
Programs having encountered this problem: PTgui (Panorama Maker), Lingvo Multilingual Dictionary 10.

2) Some plugins for Photoshop freeze on install (again, the ones which installed okay in 8.0.3)

3) NET.Framework 3.5 - not installing.

4) Windows Script 5.6 - not installing.

5) NET.Framework 2.1 update - not installing.

Handy features missing from the previous version 8.0.3 :

1) When performing several installations one after another - crossover doesn't remember the previous installation path - it always returns to the same directory (/home/user/) - it's not handy at all, especially when all installations are in the same place (ex. home/user/install)

2) Button "Installation complete": some programs install but fail to make crossover automatically reboot the system - in such case this button helped in the v.8.0.3 - why was it removed in 9.0.0? Without this option, I can only press Close button, which may prevent installation finalize properly.

Program having encountered this problem: Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 (crossover didn't automatically reboot after its installation - neither in 8.0.3 nor in 9.0.0).

For the moment, that's all I noticed. Hope it helps to fix/remove future bugs.
Thanks!

It's not entirely obvious, but if you click the 'cancel' button next to a task (or the little 'x' on the mac) that will interrupt that process but continue on with the other installation steps. So if you have a task that looks like it will never complete, click 'cancel' and tell the installer to continue without that task. That will do roughly what the 'Installation complete' button did, although with more flexibility.
