Help debugging .exe-only program

Hi All,
I'm running CrossOver 13.1.2.27699 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 (12F45). I've been using CrossOver for several years with great results including unsupported and .exe-only programs.

Trying to install/run another .exe-only program I got from T.RowePrice called FamilyRecordsOrganizer (no longer available from them). It's basically a database of all the information about your life and financials for the executor of an estate or similar person (account numbers, passwords, trust or will location, insurance policies, etc, etc).

When I run it, the icon appears for a few seconds then disappears. A basic log (below) doesn't tell me what's wrong or missing. Maybe I need to add some 'extra logging channels', but I have no idea which ones.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

from the Bottle tab, - click on Run Command.

  • use the browse command to find your EXE
  • click on Debug Options, & click on create log file.

Post that text file, back here.

Hi Pierre,
That's exactly what I did. See log file (it's not much) at the end of my original post. Thanks.
