CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Everytime I try to run an exe file it comes up saying that there is no compatible windows program and I get this error:

Command error text:
winewrapper.exe:error: cannot start L"Y:\Desktop\gb\c\a\UOSA_Client_Setup.exe" (error 31)

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling crossover but everytime i get this error, please can someone help?

Hi,

You haven't provided enough information to really help you ; I just
downloaded the UO installer you identify, opened the bottle manager,
created a new winxp bottle named UOSA, and then clicked on 'Install
Software' -> 'Other Application' -> navigated to the UOSA installer
exe and installed it -- no problems, no errors...

...with no idea what OS you're on, the best I can do is outlay an
installer usage procedure (the paragraph above), and point you at
the crossover support section ;

...post back if you still can't get things happening, providing some
more details of your OS situation...

Cheers!

Hi there the operating system i am using is osx 10.5.8 with crossover games version 10.1.2 trial version. I have just tried it the way you mentioned and it is still not working. When i try it that way all that happens is it creates the bottle says it is installing but then just resets the bottle as if it is complete.

I have tried uninstalling and deleting all files numerous times and it always still says the same.

If it helps I produced a log file of the run..

Hi don it is still not working unfortunately I have tried in different versions of crossover and crossover games. What version do you use?

The install software for me just skips the actual install and just resets the bottle with no problems.

....hmmm... to answer your question, I typically test against crossover latest, be it
CXO or CXG -- in this case I just checked it on my linux box with CXG 10.1.1 (but
I feel that's inconsequential here -- it should work the same in macos)... that said...

...doesn't look correct, specifically `/Users/bryanwalesby/Desktop/gb\c\a' seems wrong ..in that
I doubt it should be throwing backslashes on a directory path like that... are you using an external
hdrive or such'n'similar?

Thanks alot don I have it working now. I should of realised it was to do with the file path and such. I moved it to the bottles c:/ drive and it worked correctly from there. Thank you again for pointing it out to me.
