How to install WindowsSearch on CrossOver 7.1.0 prof. ?

Hi,
installed Outlook 2007, and outlook wants to install Instant Search, aka WindowsSearch-KB940157-XP-x86-enu.exe in default bottle.
How ?

--Tore

Start cxbottlemanager ->add/remove tab ->highlight the bottle containing
outlook -> click on the 'Install Software' button ->install unsupported
software -> choose the windows-search .exe file...

Alternately, you can use cxinstallwizard and install the .exe into the
same bottle outlook is installed in (disregard warning)

I'm getting "Exctraction failed. Unable to find a volume for file extraction. Please verify that you have the proper permissions."

Suggestions?

My suggestion is you hit me with a blunt object for giving you such
a bad tip! (; What I said was more or less correct, however that
particular service pack doesn't seem to install in crossover (yet).
See this page for more on this ;

For the record, I just tried installing this with cxoffice-8.0_beta4
and now it does get past the extraction/permission problems, however
the installer errors out with the message 'Setup has failed. Make sure
terminal services are enabled before rerunning setup'...so it's closer.
My guess is this will all work as expected in a future (perhaps next)
crossover release.
