I downloaded CrossOver Mac beta and played with it.
I've found several issues.  Are these bugs, or would I need
some special configuration?
I will send each issue in a separate email.

Here's the first issue.

MSI file for Japanese applications do not seem to work.
I downloaded
http://my.vector.co.jp/servlet/System.FileDownload/download/ftp/0/84206/pack/win95/writing/fonttool/FONT422.MSI
	
Using "install unsupported", CrossOver once showed an insatller
GUI with all text corrupted. I believe a wrong font is used probably
because CrossOver assume all non-Unicode applications
use the Windows 1252 code page.  Is there a way to configure
CrossOver to specify a code page for non-Unicode application?

This installer installs a subidirectory named in Japanese
under c:/Program Files/, by the way.

After first installation attempt, I no longer see the installer
GUI.  CrossOver silently proceeds installation steps, shows
no error, but nothing gets installed.
