I have tried installing tasbooks 2 from CD and the installer ran fine but no icon or star file appeared after finishing install. Does anyone have any idea how to get tasbooks running with crossover? Thanks for your help. P.S. the software is working fine with parallels. Since I am on a trial version of parallels (and crossover for that matter) I need to decide which on use in future. I would prefer Wine obviously but if I cannot get this application running on my mac I have no choice.

Hi dimesio, sorry, I am confused. I was guided to WineHQ in order to be able to run Windows software on my Mac. Should I have downloaded another software rather then crossover? I am an end user not a developer, hence I know little to nothing about how any of these work. Thanks

They provide their own support to their customers. If you are using Crossover, you need to get help from http://www.codeweavers.com/support/. Other third party Wine products (Wineskin, Winebottler, etc.) also provide their own support. This forum is for users of plain Wine only. For Mac users, that means building Wine yourself. http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/Building http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/FAQs

There has also been a lengthy discussion of Sage APPAC software here as well.

However you are saddled with paying for both Parallels AND Windows.> I would prefer Wine obviously but if I cannot get this application running on my mac I have > no choice.Can you send me a Private Message with the full name of the program. I'll contact the developement team at Sage and see if I can get a trial version of the program so that I can work on getting it to work with Wine. James McKenzie
