CrossOver Readme
Version 25.1.0

August  5, 2025

This file provides basic installation information, procedures for
reporting bugs and obtaining support, and instructions to completely
uninstall CrossOver.


INSTALLING WINDOWS APPLICATIONS
-------------------------------

You can install Windows applications by navigating to the Install item
in the left sidebar of the CrossOver user interface. This will let you
review the list of applications CrossOver knows about and pick all the
installation options. This is also the way to install applications
from CDs.

Alternatively you can also drag the Windows installer to the user
interface.

In either case the installation should then work just like on Windows,
down to the installation path, typically 'c:\Program Files'.

The operation of CrossOver should be pretty obvious; where it's not,
please report it to us as a bug so we can fix it.


USEFUL TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
---------------------------

Not all Windows applications work perfectly. For a list of updated
issues and workarounds for both supported and unsupported
applications, please visit our compatibility center at:

    https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/


If an unsupported application does not work, check out our tips:

If a Windows application gets stuck, navigate to the corresponding
bottle and then click on 'Quit' or 'Force Quit'.


UPGRADING
---------

You can redownload CrossOver or get the latest version at any time by
going to this address:

    https://www.codeweavers.com/account/downloads

Note that you will need to provide the log in and password you used
for your purchase.


DOCUMENTATION
-------------

You can get the full documentation by starting CrossOver and going to
the 'Help -> CrossOver Help' menu.

You can also find the documentation online at:

    https://support.codeweavers.com/user-guides


SUPPORT
-------

For support, please visit our CrossOver Support pages:

    https://support.codeweavers.com/

When opening a trouble ticket for either CrossOver itself or a
supported application, please be careful to log in with the email
address you used to place your order. We use that email address to
make sure our customers get quality support.


UNINSTALLING CROSSOVER
----------------------

It is best to use the CrossOver uninstaller because it will remove the
menu entries and other items created by CrossOver. To do so, either
select the 'Uninstall' menu entry, or run the following on the command
line in the installation directory:

    bin/cxuninstall

You can then safely remove the CrossOver directory, if still present.


Thank you for choosing CrossOver.
