I have tested Guitar Pro 5.2 and it fully works. I want to try Age Of Empires Gold and Rise Of Nations but I think they will work.
Crossover Quits Unexpectedly
The title says it all...I've downloaded all the crossover installs I could find and I keep getting the same thing:'( Does anyone know a solution for this?
Works:
-Tag and Rename
-Rename Master
-Notepad++
-Advanced Disk Catalog
I got a question. Should crossover be able to open .exe files?
It depends on the program, some don't need extra files to work (like winrar, it has all the files it needs in the same folder) but some needs to install and uses system dlls and running services for licencing and other stuff, so these needs to be installed and that's the main problem.
But in general yes, it should open exe files.
What I use: winrar, utorrent, winamp (not so good), ultraiso, deep exploration (slow but usable)
What I want: 3ds max 2008, vray, solid edge
