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

1. Run CrossOver from the Applications Draw.
   
   
   
   
2. Goto the top of the screen and choose "Configure" --> "Install Software"
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Under "Select and application to install" choose "Unsupported Applications" --> "Community Supported Applications" --> "Other Application"
   
   
   
   

4. Choose your Explorer installer from the location that you saved it in.
   
   

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

   
   
   
   
   

5. Choose to install in a "new XP bottle". Give the bottle a name. XP is fine in this instance. Click "Proceed" at the bottom of the window.
   
   
   
   
6. Follow the installer through as per a normal Explorer install. Select Finish in the installer and ensure that "Launch Medical-Objects Explorer" is checked.
   
   
7. Enter the installation token provided to you by the Medical Objects Help Desk. Select the "I Agree" button if you wish to proceed with the installation.
   
   
   
   

8.  Enter the password that you will use for securing your Explorer Client.
   
   

   Do not loose this passphase. If you do not remember your passphrase, you will need to have the software reinstalled as this can not be reset.

   
   
   
   

9. Once the install is completed the following main Meridian window will appear.
   
   
   
   
10. When exiting the program always use "File --> Exit"
    
    
    
    
11. Once closed you will be returned to the window below.
    
    
12. In case of corruption You will need to make a backup of the Bottle you have made. Select Advanced and then the button "Make Archive"
    
    
    
    
13. 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.
