Bottle creation failed

Hello,

I havn't bought CrossOver yet, because I first wanted to try, if it offers me what I'm looking for. What I read is very interesting and if it works, I will not wait the 30-day-trial-period until I buy it.

But first of all I have a problem with creating a bottle.
I get the following error message:
Error executing '"/Volumes/CrossOver/CrossOver.app/Contents/SharedSupport/CrossOver/bin/cxbottle" --create --scope private --bottle "WinXP" --install --template winxp':

setup:error: unable to create the '/Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/WinXP/drive_c/windows/command' directory: mkdir /Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/CrossOver: Permission denied at /Volumes/CrossOver/CrossOver.app/Contents/SharedSupport/CrossOver/lib/perl/CXUtils.pm line 587
cxbottle:error: unable to create the 'WinXP' bottle in '/Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/WinXP'

I've tried to find the answer somewhere online, but had no success with that. If there is a simple answer somewhere I havn't lookey yet I'm sorry for opening up this thread.

Thanks in advance!

//edit: it think the problem is solved meanwhile, had some strange settings in my profile
