Overview

Crossover is an application that allows Windows based programs to function in a Mac environment. This guide explains how to set up the Crossover Application to work with the Medical-Objects Explorer.

Installing Crossover

   A Special build of Explorer is required for installation in Crossover. Please contact the Medical-Objects Helpdesk (07) 5456 6000.

5. Choose to install in a New Win7/8 bottle (Windows 8 bottle Recommended). Give the bottle a name. Meridian (Or Explorer) is fine in this instance. Click Continue at the bottom of the window.

   Note:

    Install Microsoft Compatibility Pack and Meridian (Viable builds: 4111/6732) into the same bottle.

10. Place the wPDFdll files into the \Clients\ Directory of the bottle for PDF functionality.
    
    

    Note:

    Scale down the DPI within Crossover if required (4k Screens etc)

Creating a backup

1. In case of corruption You will need to make a backup of the Bottle you have made. Select Crosover and go to Configure > Manage Bottles.
   
    
   
   
2.  Select Advanced and then the button Make Archive
   
   
   
   
3. You can save the Archive where ever you wish. Call the backup Medical-Objects Backup. In this instance we are saving it into Documents (Generally the Archive is saved to Documents so Medical-Objects Staff can easily find it and restore it if needed). 
   
   

Starting Medical Objects Explorer

1. Open Crossover. From the top window menu choose Programs > Medical Objects 
   
   
2. When the installation is completed a folder is created for the shortcut to start the program and opened in a new finder window. Take note of the window's location (Generally in Places > Admin >........." in the Finder) and the shortcut can be used from there or moved to a more convenient location.
