Genopro For Mac
I posted this entry to GenoPro's support forum to help users there understand that there is an alternative to a full-blown Windows installation. I thought I'd post it here because the system continuously failed until I realized MFC42 wasn't available. D'uh. Anyway, maybe this will help someone here as well.
To install GenoPro 2011 under CrossOver:
** NOTE: If you're experienced with CrossOver, you'll notice that I actually perform some steps out of order. I felt that for someone that hasn't used CrossOver, it might be easier to let the system do all the bottle creation, etc. and just do the installation twice. **
1. Start CrossOver and select Configure -> Install Software.
2. Under Unsupported Applications, click Other Application.
3. Click on Select Installer and navigate to the location where you downloaded GenoPro's installation file and select it.
4. The next bar under the Select Installer section will tell you that it's preparing to install a new WinXP bottle with a name similar to InstallGenoPro.exe. If you click on this bar, you can change the bottle name, which really won't matter except for aesthetic reasons.
5. Click Proceed. After a few seconds, you should see the normal installation dialog common for most Windows programs. Simply select Accept and OK to continue the installation.
6. At this point, the application will not start, even though you told it to. No problem, we'll fix that in a moment.
7. Make sure you click Done on the CrossOver installation window.
8. From CrossOver's menu, click Configure -> Install Software.
9. Scroll down to Runtime Support Components.
10. Select Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Redistributable.
11. Under the bar for bottle selection, select the bottle that you originally installed GenoPro into.
12. Click Proceed. The installation of Visual C++ Runtime will probably appear to hang for 1 to 5 minutes, depending on your system speed. CrossOver will actually download it and install it, so it might appear dead for quite a while (probably not more than 5 minutes unless you're on dial-up, though).
13. Once the Visual C++ Runtime finishes installing, go back and repeat steps 1-5. However, at the license dialog for GenoPro, uncheck the box to Launch GenoPro after installation is complete. This can cause conflicts with CrossOver's detection method.
14. After the installation is completed, make sure you click Done on CrossOver. You should then be able to run it from your home folder -> Applications -> CrossOver -> GenoPro or by starting Applications -> CrossOver -> Programs -> GenoPro.
