StokerLog under Crossover Linux/Mac?

[Jeff Bower]

Anyone have any luck getting StokerLog running under Crossover Linux/Crossover Mac?

StokerLog is one of the few programs left that make me use an XP virtual machine under Linux - if someone figures out the trick to getting it to run under Crossover that would be great!

Have you tried WINE? I am not familiar with Crossover, but WINE does well with most win32 applications. I see that stokerlog is .NET based, and depending on version it may take a little fiddling with to play nice in the WINE environment, but I'd bet you could get it working on your linux box.

Crossover and Wine are tightly intermixed. Crossover uses Wine as a base, but provides a commercial infrastructure. Essentially every Wine upgrade requires a quick prayer that complex applications still run, but Crossover smooths out the instabilities. In return, Codeweavers (makers of Crossover) employ several Wine developers (turns out coders of free software need to eat, too!). On the plus side, if you're willing to pay for Crossover they'll also take requests about what to support.

Some more information from the Wine Wiki on how Codeweavers interacts with the project:

Since I haven't had much luck with Crossover and StokerLog I doubt Wine would do much better, but if people are interested feel free to vote for Stokerlog support on the link in the first post.

As soon as I can set up a login on that site, I'll vote.

I've tried it under this and it will install but will not launch. It shows it running, but you cant see stokerlog.

Its a fail.
