CrossOver Mac is a product from CodeWeavers which allows your Mac to run Windows programs without Windows. It provides a compatibility layer between Mac OSX and the Windows program so that AccuTerm believes that it is running under Windows. AccuTerm 7, beginning with release 7.0d, is compatible with CrossOver Mac release 10.2.0.

Crossover Mac Run As Administrator Program

For example, a Standard User doesn’t need Admin rights and an Administrator doesn’t need every program to run with Admin rights. There’s no reason why Notepad needs to run as an Admin so you should be wary if you happen to click an icon that looks like Notepad but suddenly the User Account Control (UAC) pops open; this is a portent that. In CrossOver Mac 15 the Run Command GUI has been revamped to be easier to use. This tutorial shows the most common uses of Run Command in CrossOver.Download. To grant the application Administrator privileges, right-click on the downloaded installer icon and select the Run as administrator menu option. Enterprise Architect is a 32 bit application, however it can be run on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Operating Systems. Wine is continually updated.

Note for Windows Vista and Windows 7 users:
Under Windows Vista (with User Account Control turned on) an application starts with only Standard permissions, regardless of what level of authority the current user has. As a result, an installer run normally with an Admin account under Vista only has Standard privileges and either is not able to write to certain critical areas of the registry/file system, or redirects the write requests to a per-user virtualized registry/file system.

Sparx Systems recommends that if you are installing on Windows Vista, always run the Enterprise Architect installer with Administrator privileges (recommended whether you have UAC turned on or not). To grant the application Administrator privileges, right-click on the downloaded installer icon and select the Run as administrator menu option.

* Enterprise Architect is a 32 bit application, however it can be run on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Operating Systems.

** Wine is continually updated. For the best experience, we recommend maintaining an updated version of either the Stable or Development version from winehq.org. The development version is frequently updated with fixes that will directly improve Enterprise Architect compatibility, but may experience small problems on occasion. In general, we believe that this branch offers the best experience with Enterprise Architect.

*** The file based databases, MS Jet and Firebird, can be used with any edition of Enterprise Architect. These repository files are named as *.eap and *.feap, respectively. Hosting a model in a server based DBMS repository, however, requires Corporate edition, or higher. For a list of supported DBMS versions see the Help topic Server Based Repositories, under the subheading DBMS Products you can use.

Cons

• Bugs, minimal app support, relies on user forums for bug tracking

Our Verdict

Sometimes, what is possible it not always practical. Some users, such as those who absolutely must run a legacy Windows application, have found it’s possible to load Windows on a Mac. Not for the faint of heart, the process involves booting into Windows—you’ll need software such as Apple’s Boot Camp (free)—or running Windows within a virtual machine application such as Parallels () or VMware Fusion ().

Crossover Mac Run As Administrator

A slicker option is CodeWeaver’s CrossOver Mac Pro 8.0, an application that runs a virtual environment so you can run Windows applications on your Mac. (We tested the Pro version, which supports both apps and games.) With CrossOver 8 installed on your Mac, you can insert a Windows installer disc such as the one for Microsoft Office 2007 or Quicken 2009 for Windows, install the program, and run it without actually running Windows. This saves time, because you never have to boot the Windows OS. And, theoretically, it should make Windows apps run faster on your Mac.

CrossOver Mac Pro 8 is a smart application; it relies on the open-source Wine application for running Windows apps and streamlines the install process. However, since the CrossOver 7 () release last year, the new version only adds support for one major, new Windows application (Quicken 2009) and tweaks Office 2007 compatibility. CodeWeavers has not addressed my chief complaint, which is that the application does not provide any guidance as to whether an application will work at the time of install, and relies instead on an online user forum. So, CrossOver 8 is smarter, but still not smart enough.

Application testing

Of course, the real strength of CrossOver 8 is whether it will work for the applications and games you want to run, not any interface issues. For example, I know of a design agency that still uses Adobe FrameMaker 7 to access an extensive archive of page layout documents. In some other cases, you might need to run a Windows program such as Microsoft Word 2007 because that’s the version dictated by your company. Fortunately, CrossOver 8 has tweaked support for Office 2007 and now runs more reliably and faster, and adds support for features such as inserting clip art. That said, on my MacBook with 2GB of RAM and a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor, Office 2007 still crashed to the Desktop at least once per hour.

CrossOver 8 supports some of the more popular—but still not the very latest—PC games, such as Left4Dead. That game in particular is important because it ranks up there with World of Warcraft () as a popular multiplayer game without a Mac version (yet). Left4Dead actually ran quite smoothly and even worked for a multiplayer co-op match.

I also tested Internet Explorer 7. After a few “dry runs” the app finally installed. Sites rich with ActiveX components, such as Live.com, ran quite well. Quicken 2009 never crashed, although parts of the program (such as the start-up screen) have noticeable graphical glitches. Accessing these apps is easy: CrossOver puts icons for Windows apps in a folder, a nice touch, and you can even drag them to the dock for easy access.

Still, most new Windows apps will not work. I tried Adobe Photoshop CS4 for Windows (which uses PC-centric copy protection) and a preview version of Word 2010 (which requires .Net) without success. Recent games—everything from Fallout 3 to Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood—also failed to install.

Crossover Mac Run As Administrator Windows 10

CodeWeavers says that CrossOver 8 will be the last to support OS 10.4 (Tiger). Versions of CrossOver released before version 8 are not compatible with OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Also, if you’re running OS 10.5 (Leopard), you need to use CrossOver 6.2 or later.

Macworld’s buying advice

You might think that CrossOver 8 is a terrible way to run Windows apps—even Office 2007 support is limited. In my view, for a company of only 25 people trying to create a way to avoid virtual instances of the full Windows OS, CrossOver 8 is getting there, slowly but surely. I imagine by next year, with the already-planned release of CrossOver 9, Codeweavers will iron out more Office 2007 bugs. (Okay, by that time, Left4Dead 2 will be out and Windows 7 will cause even more headaches.) Still, with CrossOver 8, the possibilities are endless; now they just need to work on the practical.
