Installer Assistant Preferences

These settings govern the behavior of the CrossOver Software Installer.

Automatically download new application profiles.  CodeWeavers staff and volunteers are constantly updating, refining, and adding to the list of community supported applications via the CodeWeavers CrossOver Compatibility Center. If this option is enabled, CrossOver will periodically synchronize itself with the full list of applications on the website.

Even if this option is turned off you can still install particular applications from the website via the Install button present on many pages.

Default value: on

Show entries for untested and known-not-to-work software.  Our product and website keep track of many applications that do not yet work with CrossOver. If you are experimenting with or developing for one of those applications, it may be useful to turn on this setting in order to see such entries in the Installer Assistant.

Default value: off

Launch Installer Assistant when CrossOver opens a .exe file.  When this option is selected CrossOver opens the Installer Assistant whenever CrossOver is used to open a Windows executable file. Otherwise CrossOver simply runs the Windows executable.

Default value: on
