And this time it did not quit!įirst I got this (familiar, when there is no mysql-type database server running) PluginInterface error-prompt:Īnyhow, the point is, RadioDJ installation got that far at least. Having got this far, I (of course) again tried running RadioDJ (in that Bottle). Regardless, finally I got the magic confirmer-prompt: '.NET Framework 4.8 has been installed', following which, as instructed by a prompt, I restarted the 'machine' (i.e. One error message complained that I already had some dependencies (.NET v2) installed - maybe that's what led to the previous error messages?. This worked better - there were some installation issues but I skipped those, apparently without issue.

NET, namely 4.8 (which Crossover users had given a '5 Stars' rating) into the bottle. However the following alternative approach did work - I instead used Crossover (Bottle-RightClick) to 'Install a Windows Application', then selected the (Crossover-) Listed Application version of. Not sure it really installed - I think it 'completed' merely by quitting (and not telling me). NET, namely windowsdesktop-runtime-6.0.10-win-圆4.exe, the 'Run Desktop Apps' variant from. So next, I tried to install what seems to be Microsoft's latest recommended version of. NET into the Bottle (same way as any Windows application). From earlier correspondence with CodeWeavers (developers of Crossover) I gathered I needed to install Microsoft's. At this stage it would not run (I attempted it but it quit after a couple of seconds). For anyone not familiar, a Crossover 'Bottle' is broadly like a virtual machine (it is technically an 'emulation environment').įirst, into the Bottle, I installed RadioDJ. On macOS Catalina (10.15.7), I just now updated Crossover (to V22.0.1) and installed the latest RadioDJ version (RadioDJ v2.0.3.9) into a Windows10 Bottle. So if anyone else is interested, why not register that interest with them? Looks like they are asking who else wants this, presumably also to do testing. Meanwhile, I asked Codeweavers if they could officially support RadioDJ. But I know nothing about such things (and could waste enormous amounts of time by uninformed experimenting / 'flailing about in the dark'). I guess that would be like remote networking to that database as if it was on another computer. Ideally I'd like to connect to my existing MariaDB running on macOS. I did manage to get RadioDJ itself running that way, but getting it to connect to the database is beyond my understanding. but I wondered if it could also be run within a Wine/Crossover 'Bottle' (windows emulator) - riskier but with a smaller footprint, not having to load the whole W10 OS - maybe useful for doing experiments. I already succeeded in running it in a Parallels virtual machine containing Windows-10, on my mac.
