Probably not exactly the answer you're looking for, and would be interested in hearing others experiences, but Parallels Desktop has been flawless for me across a number of Windows applications. Retails for around $70.

Hi all,

The windows box I used for these things has ceased to be.

It was surprisingly easy to get "LXSim" working using WINE and the wonderful http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/

But the other one I need, "LXStyler" doesn't quite work. It starts, but selecting a configuration and then any page pops up an empty windows "Critical Error" box and it's locked up.

I suspect there's some magic DLL(s) or other trick I need beyond the default install. Anyone done this?


Either Parallels or VMWare Fusion will very likely run it perfectly. I've yet to find a Windows program that does not run.
