[cw-discuss] How can I specify which bottle a program should run from?

[Richard Lemay]

You can select which bottle you will use when you run a program by using 
the --bottle option.

Examples:

I want to run excel from a bottle called MSOFFICE:
/path to crossover/bin/wine --bottle MSOFFICE -cx-app excel
(Replace /path to crossover with the path in which you installed crossover.)

The -cx-app option is a shortcut that allows you to run programs which 
register themselves in the registry. For that reason, it doesn't work 
with all program. For your case, it should work properly. It goes 
without saying that you must install Excel in every bottle you intend to 
run it from.
