Default LXnav software with OS X / Wine

VMware Fusion and a full copy of whatever Windows version you want/need.

All the LXNav and SeeYou software runs under Windows 10 on the latest VMware Fusion on the latest macOS releases and has for years.

That VMware stuff is just the most amazing, wonderful, fantastic, software. And I'm totally unbiased.

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?

Slightly more work but it is also easy to follow.
Parallels is wine, in a commercial way.
I do not run an LX program but use this for SeeYou. Runs OK.
