CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hello all,

I am now to crossover. I am trying to get Microsoft Office XP to install. When I click it, instead of having an install button, it has an proceed button. I click proceed, then it tells me to select an installer. An installer file or installer folder. I am confused at this point, because I don't have an installer file or I don't kow what the installer file is. Could someone please help me with this.

Thanks a lot,
Jason

Hi,

I take it you own Microsoft Office 2000 (XP) to install? That, is what Crossover is looking for,
an install disc or file, that has the Microsoft Office 2000 (XP) program installation. For the record,
you should be installing that using the Crosstie profile provided on the following C4 page...;

Cheers!

Sorry for the delayed response. Actually, no I don't own a MS office XP. Since I switched over to Linux, I must have lost that disc. I use Libre Office, but everything doesn't format correctly (i.e., endnote citations). Also, I don't have a disc drive on my laptop, I need to purchase one. Is there still a way to install MS Office XP?

Thank you for your help!
Jason

Hi,

No - you can only install what you own, from the original install media.
Personally, I use OOo (OpenOffice.org) in linux for any such tasks =)

Cheers!
