## Capitolo 5. Installare programmi Windows

## Installare programmi usando l'Installer software di CrossOver

The Installer software di CrossOver guides you through the process of installing Windows software. It can be launched from the Configure menu via the Install Software… option or it can be launched from the Bottle Manager.

L'Installer software di CrossOver contiene molte conoscenze sulle condizioni specifiche per installare ed eseguire varie applicazioni. Nel caso si installino le applicazioni senza usare l'Installer (ad esempio eseguendo direttamente Wine) o quando l'Installer non ha le informazioni corrette su cosa stia per essere installato (ad esempio se viene installata una applicazione diversa rispetto a quella scelta nel pannello di selezione), il comportamento dell'installer potrebbe non essere perfetto e di conseguenza anche il comportamento dell'applicazione meno affidabile.

### Scegliere cosa installare

The first panel displays a list of applications that CrossOver knows how to install. To install a program, select its name from the list and proceed to the next panel.

In many cases (especially for downloadable software) the Installer will immediately display the Install button. This means that it was able to compute good default values for the other panels in the Installer and is ready to begin. You may browse settings in the other panels by clicking on the title bars of each section, or proceed with a default install by clicking Install.

If the Installer requires more information before installing, it will display a Proceed button. Clicking Proceed will result in a prompt for the next bit of necessary information. At any point you may adjust your selections by selecting any section of the Installer.

Applicazioni supportate. CrossOver has been tested and tuned to optimize the behavior of this select list of applications. CrossOver tech support will also provide assistance when difficulties arise with these programs.

Community Supported Applications. The users of the CodeWeavers CrossOver Compatibility Center have contributed installation strategies for a long list of applications. These programs are not officially supported by CodeWeavers, but help may be available in the Compatibility Center forums.

Other Application. If you wish to install software that is not otherwise listed, you may do that by selecting the Other Application option. Keep in mind, though, that unsupported software may work poorly or not at all. In addition, installing unsupported software may prevent already installed supported Windows applications from working. It is generally recommended that unsupported applications be installed in a new bottle for testing purposes.

Before installing an unlisted application, you may benefit from looking it up in the CodeWeavers CrossOver Compatibility Center for tips and tricks.

Service Packs and Upgrades. Many applications require downloadable service packs to be applied for best performance. The advisability of each package is indicated by the medal rating.

Runtime Support Components. In most cases you will not want to install the software in this section manually. Many of these packages are requirements for the successful install of supported applications, and will be automatically installed as part of the predetermined install process.

If a specific bottle has not been previously selected, the Installer software di CrossOver will install new software into a new bottle whenever possible. If CrossOver detects conflicts between the selected package and the default bottle, the bottle panel will guide your installation into a more appropriate bottle.

### Selecting an installation source

Quando installate software da un CD o DVD, l'Installer software di CrossOver vi permette di scegliere un volume, file o directory da usare come installer.

Volume Selection. At this point, any available CDs, DVDs, or mounted ISOs or disk images should be available to select. When a volume is specified, CrossOver will search that drive for an installer or autorun file. This option is the default, and will work for most cases where the application comes on a disk.

Choose Installer File. If you want to install software off your hard drive, or off a CD that contains several installers, select this option and specify the desired installer. In some cases, CrossOver will be unable to locate a default installer file when you select one of the CD-ROM options. In those cases, you will need to locate the installer file on the disk yourself, using this option.

Choose Installer Folder. This option is useful if the content of a CD has been copied into a folder on your local hard drive. It may also be necessary if you are installing from a disk that contains multiple installers in subdirectories.

The Choose Installer Folder… option will treat a selected folder as though it is in installer disk. That means that if the selected folder doesn't contain an obvious installation entry point (for example an AUTORUN.INF or setup.exe) the installation may fail.

### Scaricare un installer

Many supported applications can be downloaded from the Internet. For most of those, CrossOver can automatically download the installers for you. Make sure that you have an active connection to the Internet if using this facility.

CrossOver will store downloaded installers, so if you install the same component frequently it should only require a single download. And if you have an installer file already located on your hard drive you can always select it via the Choose Installer File… option.

### Scegliere una bottiglia per l'installazione

In most cases, CrossOver will install new software into a new bottle and you will have no need to visit this panel. The exception to this rule is when installing a service pack or upgrade, in which case you may need to manually direct the Installer to apply the package to the bottle that contains the software in need of upgrade.

### Completing the installation

Once you click Install, your interaction with the Installer software di CrossOver is mostly finished. Various Windows installers may prompt you for interaction, while the Installer keeps a running tab of the completed steps.

The Cancel buttons should be used sparingly. Canceling a step may result in an unrecoverable problem that will require you to discard the target bottle.
