CrossOver Support - Community Forums

I've been using Crossover Mac for a few Windows utilities on my Mac for some time and would like to also be able to use Foxit Reader. I'm running Lion on a Macbook Pro if that matters using Crossover Mac 12.1.2. The issue is that when I try to install, Crossover acts like it's working, but Foxit never appears in the application menu and I'm not seeing it in the Windows Program folder. During installation, the Foxit program opens and seems to behave as expected, but the installation doesn't complete until I close the Foxit window. Crossover then finishes and does not generate any error messages, but I can't start Foxit because it's not in the menu to choose nor can I find it on the "C:" drive. Is there something that can be done to make this work.

I was trying both Foxit Reader 4.0 and 4.1, and got the same results. When Foxit opens during installation, I can open a PDF file and edit it using the Typewriter tool, so it seems to be installing, but it doesn't seem to quite do everything installation should be doing. I hope this makes sense and someone knows what the issue is! I've also tried shutting down Crossover after installation, but still no Foxit in the app menu. I'm posting this here because I couldn't find an application forum....

How about a forum for Foxit Reader 5?

I could not find Foxit Reader 4 for download but I did find 5. I downloaded it and installed it and made a tie file that will let use my recipe.

Go to the application page and click the green button that says "Install Foxit Reader 5.x via CrossTie". That should get you up and running!
