[Ham-Mac] miniprop

[Dave Wright]

Steve,  

I don't know about Miniprop in particular, but installing any program in Crossover is the same basic procedure as detailed here:
http://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/mac/mactutorial

and specifically here: http://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/mac/mactutorial/unsupported_install_file


Unfortunately, for a program as specific as mini prop, there will likely be no info available on the web on how to install it under CrossOver.  Some programs install smooth-as-silk under Crossover, others require a lot of support files that are included in a normal Windows distribution.  Sometimes you'll have to figure those out on your own.  Some programs will install but just won't run.  Crossover is not a 100% replacement for Windows, so it will take a bit of experimentation.  Of course, once you figure it out, feel free to write a guide and post it to the list…you can also add it to the Codeweavers online database so others can find it as well.


About a year ago I wrote a guide to help get several programs running under Crossover.  The basic steps still apply. Furthermore, one of the programs was G4ILO's VoaProp, which is likely similar to Miniprop.  I will send the document to you via direct email.  

Feel free to contact me directly if you get stuck.  

Dave
