## Capitolo 10. Finding more information about running your Windows application with CrossOver

The CodeWeavers website has a database with information on how to run thousands of Windows applications in CrossOver. You can search for your application from the CodeWeavers home page , as pictured below.

First, visit CodeWeavers at www.codeweavers.com in your favorite web browser. Look for the search section labeled 'What Runs?' at the top of the CodeWeavers home page.

Enter the name of your application in the search section and press 'enter.' Below is an example of a search for Quicken 2010.

After you have searched for your application on the CodeWeavers website and found its entry in our database, you can see useful information, such as: the community's estimate of how well it will work in CrossOver; a forum dedicated to your application; and 'Tips and Tricks' for using your application with CrossOver.

You can also install your application right from the CodeWeavers website by clicking the green button labeled 'Install [your application name] via CrossTie' in your web browser.

If you have the Installer Assistant set to automatically download new profiles, then every working application in the compatibility center will also be already present in the assistant's application list. The Compatibility Center provides an alternative route for locating the same software for users who prefer to browse a website.

In most cases, a single click will launch the Installer Assistant. With some browsers you may need to download the CrossTie file (it will have a .tie extension) and double-click to open.

## Using CrossTies with multiple CodeWeavers products

Starting with CrossOver XI, CrossOver will run both games and office applications like Microsoft Word. We recommend that you use the most modern version of CrossOver available to run all of your Windows software.

If you own an older copy of CrossOver Games, however, you may continue to use that alongside CrossOver XI and later if you wish to do so. If you have both CrossOver and CrossOver Games installed on your computer, you can chose which product to use when you install an application using a CrossTie file downloaded from the CodeWeavers website.

If CrossOver detects that you have more than one version of CrossOver installed which can handle a given CrossTie file, it will prompt you to make a choice about which version to use. The window below is an example of what you might see if you have attempt to install software via a CrossTie when you have two versions of CrossOver installed. Simply select the version of CrossOver you want from the drop-down menu and click 'Install'. CrossOver will then install your software with the version you have selected.

Select your preferred version, and you'll be off and running.
