I can install the software or run from finder. How can I make it permanent, so I don't have to install every time I run it?

Okay, the subject says it all. I'm using the newest version of Crossover to run and unlisted Windows app. I can select app, create new bottle, and install the software. Works perfect. If I decide to use the same software tomorrow, I have to reinstall it. Again. Every time.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Same here. Tried several unlisted applications and had the same problem again and again. About halfway of the installation the progress bar stops and the program starts an runs in a second window. when I end the program, progress bar continues and installation finishes with an empty bottle.

Don’t install it. Use “Run Command…” but when you get to the option to run the application, DON’T. Instead, choose “Save command as launcher” then click the cancel button. You will see a new “launcher” icon in your Crossover window and can double-click on that icon to run your application in the future.

Thanks! That worked! Had to deactivate the automatic install in the settings to see that option...
