[cw-discuss] How to "install" applications that don't have an%0A%09installer? (Crossover Mac)

[Helen Ross]

I was also annoyed by not having icons for programs that did not need  
installing so I just packaged up the files in the folder using the windows  
installer creator Redshift available from http://stormdance.net/ and then  
used this 'install' file to add my software.

Redshift runs fine under cx but if you want to do it this way then you  
must make sure there are no system file like .DS_Store in amongst the pc  
files otherwise the installer will get stuck.

I used this to install things like Irfanview which runs fine but its own  
installer does not work.

Ideally I would like a shortcut manager where I could choose programs and  
their icons and more importantly be able to delete icons, also it would be  
great to have some type of extension manager so that files open using the  
correct application.

I have been pretty impressed so far, as KeyNote works flawlessly, the  
first wine version in which it has been rock solid and I am able to insert  
and view bitmaps.
