CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hi all

I really want Template Toaster (http://templatetoaster.com) to run on my Mac. I have installed CrossOver Mac and the Template Toaster.

The program will start, be gets an error saying that I need to install Mono: "Command error text: wine: Install Mono for Windows to run .NET applications"
. This I have tried without success. Maybe because I am not sure, that I use the right version of Mono. But I do not know which one to use.

Can anyone help? Please

Actually, the website requires .Net 4, so you should try to install that. You have to go through Crossover's interface and allow it to download what it needs, as it will go through a very specific process . Just downloading .net 4 and installing straight away yourself will fail.

You should know that .Net software is quite possibly the worst there is for Crossover. Sometime the apps work, sometimes they don't, and there's very little one can do about it.

Thank you for your response. That does not sound very promising.

How do I let CrossOver install the needed things itself?

Since you're on a Mac, I would say that you should just use the crosstie found at...

.net 4.0

.net 4.5.1

Either one of those should work, but you don't need both. .Net 4.5.1 seems to have better rating on Macs, so that might be the better choice, but experimentation will tell how true that is. Make sure it installs in the same bottle as your software, that's about the only thing you need to worry about.

Lastly, I didn't want to be overly negative, as I have gotten .Net apps to run before. I just meant that when they don't run, there is rarely anything to do about it.
