CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hi Crossover Team, I am facing a problem and I need your help. I have a windows 10_64 bottle installed on my linux system. I have an unlisted application installed in the bottle too that I want to run. It contains a .exe and another folder (lets call it 'x' for namesake) with some libraries that are needed to run the .exe successfully. I aim to run it only via the command line. The unlisted application and other required softwares were installed in the botle in a gui-based environment and then archived, then copied onto a non-gui based environment where i aim to run the bottle strictly via the terminal. The folder 'x' exists in ~/.cxoffice/bottle_name/ directory (not inside drive_c).

I have installed XVFB to help with the UI requirements on the non-gui based environment. When I run "cxrun" command with the bottle name and the command, Crossover doesnt seem to be able to execute the run command. I think it opens up the ui in a display (which i cannot see) on xvfb and waits for an I/O from the user. What would you suggest I do to run this bottle strictly without ui and only via the terminal/command-line?

Correction: the folder 'x' is inside drive_c of the bottle. It's installed correctly. The error still persists as described.

Good afternoon Aryan.

Have you tried this with a simpler setup? E.g. like this:

• Debian system
• User "vbox"
• Win10_64 bottle named "HelloWorld"
• Directory "c:\cxrunTarget" containing a HelloWorld64.exe , a console only program printing some text
• /opt/cxoffice/bin/cxrun --bottle=HelloWorld --command=/home/vbox/.cxoffice/HelloWorld/dosdevices/c:/cxrunTarget/HelloWorld64.exe

Does that work?

A thought:
If there is no active CrossOver license on your system where you execute cxrun then a pop-up may appear asking for license activation, could be that this is the where it hangs?
