Configuring and installing CrossOver on Archlinux.
Related
Wine

CrossOver is the paid, commercialized version of Wine which provides more comprehensive end-user support. It includes scripts, patches, a GUI, and third-party software which may never be accepted in the Wine Project. This combination makes running Windows programs considerably easier for those aren't so tech-savvy.

## Installing Crossover Linux

Tested with trial `install-crossover-11.2.1.bin`

- Ensure `dbus-python-common`, `pygtk` and `dbus-python2` are installed.

- Run `# ln -sf /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python`

- Finally `$ ./install-crossover-*.bin` for single user.

## Using CrossOver

Assuming it was installed as user, Crossover binaries should be located in `~/cxoffice`.

Some desktop environments like KDE may have automatically placed menu entries as part of the installation process.

Installed programs should be located under a new menu entry called Window Applications.

Tip: If you get a registration failure, try: `# /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxregister`. Registration should then complete and be valid for all users on the system.
