Crossover office - move to WinXP

[doml]

Hi, I'm running EA on Crossover. The limitation that I have to use the Win98 bottle means that I can't install EA plugins developed in using .Net

Are there any plans to support using the WinXP bottle on Crossover?

Cheers

I've had good luck running EA under plain ole Wine (latest version), with the default WinXP setting.

You'll need to have the latest "winetricks" script, then:

sh winetricks corefonts vcrun6
sh winetricks mfc42 jet40 native_oleaut32
sh winetricks gecko mdac28

and that works for me.

A belated thank you for this - that seems to have worked perfectly.

Perhaps this should be documented on the EA site somewhere.
