CrossOver Support - Community Forums

I want just a little general information from one of the experts. I use boxer, and it will, after installing, import a disk image of my CD. This creates a game which, all i have to do is click and it runs without my having to put in a CD.

I would like functionality like this in crossover games. That is, I would like some kind of BAT file or the like that would automatically mount my disk image and tell wine it is a cd (the cd). I can mount an image then run the game no problem. I just want a runnable Icon that can mount the disk image and start the game all in one.

Is it possible to write a script that runs inside the bottle (like an old BAT file) that would run and mount an image in the same folder with the BAT file? Something that could be used time and again by just editing the name of the image file? (and maybe the path to the exe)? Any old dos wizards out there able to write this thing for us? (if I knew it would work i would dust off one of my old dos manuals and craft one, but I don't know enough about wine to know.)

This is working for me. I changed the script's icon to the game's icon using the finder, and made an application out of the script using the apple script editor. I got this from hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20040905112951299... the only editing that it requires is the properties need setting correctly (not as elegant as I had hopped)

Here are the explanations of the variables:

* diskname: should be the name you see under the icon for the disk image on your desktop.  
* diskpath: should be the full path to the disk image file on your hard disk. Get this by selecting the file, press Command-I for Get Information, and combine the "Where" string with the "Name and extension" string.  
* itemname: should be the full path of the application program that the script should run.  
* appname: should be the name of the application itself (without the path).
