Running .exe Files

hi, im having a problem running .exe files in crossover mac. i can install software using the software installer. thats not a problem. but if something is a stand alone .exe and i double click it, nothing happens. is there something i need to set up before hand? is there any reason the .exe isnt running?

any help would be great.

thanks

You should be able to run .exe files by going to 'Programs' 'Run Command...'

Choose a bottle to run from and then in the 'Command' section use the 'Browse' button to point CrossOver at the executable file. This will allow you to customize a bottle to run an executable file that might need something more like MDAC or IE6.
