I am using CrossOver 14.0.3 (14.0.3.28476) on a MBP running Mavericks 10.9.5.
I have a password protected PDF file on a CD-ROM, that was purchased a long time ago. The PDF file must be opened via launch.exe, which in turns opens an early version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (6), which is included on the CD-ROM, and automatically inserts the PDF’s password.
I can see the CD-ROM in a Windows 7 bottle via Explorer. I can also start launch.exe, but the rest of the process fails with the following error:
No disc inserted.
Please insert the original “Inklingo SC3” CD/DVD.
If I mount that CD-ROM on a Windows 7 computer, it shows the "Inklingo SC3" label. When I open a command prompt window in the above bottle, it shows, "Volume in drive D has no label." That's a definite problem because launch.exe expects a label of "Inklingo SC3".
I read the “10.2 Adding a new drive or customizing the drive label / serial number” section in the Mac version of the manual. I may be wrong, but it appears to me that this section was taken from the Linux manual, but not updated for the Mac platform. That is, it talks about /mnt and /dev/sda1, which are not used on Macs. I was able to find the pertinent files via “Open shell”:
d: -> /Volumes/Inklingo SC3
d:: -> /dev/rdisk1s0
That section also mentions, “To set the label you would create a file called .windows-label on the root of the virtual drive.
$ echo ’MY_LABEL’ >/mnt/.windows-label “
Of course, I redirected "Inklingo SC3" to /Volumes/.windows-label instead of /mnt/.windows-label. This did not help.
Is it possible to get CrossOver to use the correct CD-ROM label?
Thanks,
