If you are still having problems installing RMS Express or getting VARA to launch within the program, check to make sure you didn’t skip a step in the DotNET and Visual Basic Runtime installations. NOTE: If VARA crashes after doing the above, try replacing this file in the system32 folder mentioned above. You can edit the RMS Express.ini file to force this OR you can follow these instructions to add them as an option in all pull-down menus.įor VARA support, download these components:Īnd place them in /Users/ /Library/Application\ Support/CrossOver/Bottles //drive_c/windows/system32 and if any exist, replace them. Please note that Winlink Express may not offer COM33 or COM34 as options. If for some reason that won’t work, see here.
#Crossover on mac install#
Now download and install RMS Express and VARA in that bottle as well.įor USB/Serial Cables or radios with internal USB/serial rig control, use COM33 or COM34 in Ham programs like Winlink Express, RMS Express, HRD, etc. Be careful to select the (Ham) bottle each time you intsall a new component. These components can be found in Crossover’s application list under “Non-Applications… Components”.

Install “Microsoft Dot NET 3.5 service pack 1” in that bottle, then install “Microsoft Visual Basic 6 Runtime Service Pack 6” and “Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runtime” for VARA support. Use Crossover to create a Windows XP bottle (recommend using the name “Ham” or something similar). This should give you a fresh working version of Winlink Express along with VARA HF installed and working.

But if you want to try the free version see my instructions here.ĭownload this Crossover Archive and import it under the “Bottle” Menu “Import Bottle Archive”. Everything else will, however.īefore we get started, please note unless you are comfortable issuing a few simple commands in a terminal window, I recommend you use a $39 commercial product called Crossover to avoid many frustrating issues getting DotNET to work properly. NOTE: Crossover 19 and older do not have the latest version of Wine, so unless you have the latest version of Crossover, Forms and Templates like the ICS-213 Form will NOT work in Winlink Express.
