Windows on a Mac Program

[macosxisdabest]

Is it possible for a windows on a mac program to be downloaded and installed without a windows cd? It's for Intel Mac OS X...

 

[Beerfloat]

A lot of programs can be used with Wine or Crossover

 

[r.j.s]

What program?

 

[macosxisdabest]

Not many games are available with crossover, though.

And with Wine, there's always a bug downloading a game.

 

[MacDawg]

Then your answer is probably "no"
As r.j.s. asked... what program

Woof, Woof - Dawg

I don't know, Parallel Desktops, Boot Camp, Vmware Fusion...

 

[r.j.s]

Well, Crossover and Wine/Darwine are the only ways to run Windows apps without installing Windows, so the answer would be no.

I don't know, Parallel Desktops, Boot Camp, Vmware Fusion...

All require a Windows install disc.

With Wine (winehq.com), there are so many files to download I don't know which one to download...

Darwine is the way to go if you want to use Wine under OSX. Not many games will run under it, however.

Well, there is a game on wine's website (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=8735) that I want to download, but there is no link to download it...

Download what? The game or Darwine?

 

[macosxisdabest]

Download what? The game or Darwine?

The game that will work for Mac. Maybe Wine is necessary for this game, I don't know...

The game that will work for Mac

You have to buy the game from a retail store.

Windows can download it simple...

 

[bigmack209]

they don't all need the windows install disk. you just need the .iso file.

Wonderful? No one cares.

Please follow the rules of the forum. Never ask to pirate software again.

Boot Camp = runs Windows native, only good option for gaming
Virtual machine = good for productivity


After re-reading this thread, I still have no clue what the hell macosxisdabest is asking. You saw a game on the Wine page and want it?

Correct, but he just wants to download it, not buy it.

I'm getting more and more confused with the OP's intentions as I read... 😕😕😕
