crossover 19 Catalina - can't create tmp file

Hi, I'm trying to install an application but it fails and what I see in the logs is the following:

wineserver: mkdir /tmp/.wine-501: Permission denied
-> rc=256 (took 0.176017045974731 seconds)
setup:error: 'rundll32 win7Install crossover.inf' failed
setup:error: 'rundll32 win7Install crossover.inf' failed

I don't have any AV installed so that shouldn't be the issue and I've uninstalled and re-installed crossover with the same result

Are you running macOS Catalina? If so, my first thought is that you might need to allow CrossOver or your application access manually. I've created a tutorial on where the settings are located here: https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/mac/mactutorial/security

Thanks for the reply but that wasn't the problem, for some reason it seems that the security setting on tmp were wrong and fixed with a

sudo chmod 1777 /private/tmp

installation then worked fine but I don't see the text in Visio 2013 not matter the settings I change but then again this is a topic of its own

I'm glad you figured it out!
