Afternoon,
I am not really sure where to ask this, but I am having trouble getting AS5 to install on Crossover, it hangs at the last stage - 'Installing Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1'
I really want to get any issues ironed out with Crossover before my trial runs out, I don't want to pay the best part of £50 for it if I can't get it to work properly.
I have been running Parallels on my Mac previously so that I can still use FH & AS, but I don't want Parallels any more.
Please help

Have you read the Knowledge Base article I wrote about installing on Crossover?
If not then take a look at how_to:family_historian_v6_on_crossover_wine|> Family Historian V6 & Ancestral Sources V5 on Crossover, PlayOnLinux/Mac & Wine.

This is a follow on from a [FHU] Email dialogue.
Karen, since you have been running Parallels you must have a valid Windows OS licence.
Why not try the free Oracle VirtualBox instead, but still with same Windows OS licence?
Then it is a genuine Windows environment so you won't get the problems you are having with Crossover which is an emulator.
See how_to:family_historian_ancestral_sources_on_oracle_virtualbox|> Family Historian & Ancestral Sources on Oracle VirtualBox.
Maybe you are not aware of the differences and the pros & cons of a Virtual Machine versus a Windows Emulator?
P.S.
I thought this was all sorted out with Getting rid of Parallels. What do you use? (15868) earlier this year?
