[MONICA MACAULAY]

I’ve used Wine to run Toolbox on a Mac. It works just fine!

Hi Jorge,

I haven't done this myself, but the software I've heard people using to run Windows programs elsewhere is Wine. Although judging by their download page, there is a relationship between Crossover and Wine. Still, it might be worth a https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Db1QBvSW5mgxtW<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/87WEBvS7N0pOta?domain=winehq.org>

Best of luck,

Subject: [RNLD] Consult -- Running FLEx/LexiquePro/SayMore with CrossOver

Dear everyone,

My university's IT department has suggested using CrossOver (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Qv1GBXtbegRwig?domain=codeweavers.com<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Qv1GBXtbegRwig?domain=codeweavers.com>) to run the SIL Windows-only software FLEx, LexiquePro, and SayMore on our new lab computers.

I've done a bit of browsing online and it seems like that won't work? I also tried installing FLEx with the trial version of CrossOver and the installation failed so I thought I'd send an email to the list in case anyone has been successful in getting this to work.

If you have gotten to work, I'd love to hear back from you.

If you have not, what do you use? Parallels? Something else?

All the best,
Jorge
