Up until 2007 edition the application has worked well. 2007 installs successfully. But when running it, the new version throws up an odd message just after the splash window. It says, 'Watchtower Library data files cannot be accessed. Please ensure that the necessary media is accessible and try again.' Then it exits.
Of course, the data files are there and they have the necessary access permissions. There's a bug. The following describes how you can work around it, hopefully temporarily until there's a fix. (In fact, it has already been fixed in later versions of Wine: 0.9.52 under Linux runs without issues. CrossOver just needs to catch up!)
Meanwhile however...
Prerequisites
What you will need:
- Apple Mac running OS X (Tiger or Leopard)
- CrossOver Mac 6.2, latest version from CodeWeavers
- Watchtower Library 2007 CD-ROM
- Watchtower Library 2006 CD-ROM (strange but true, please read on)
Procedure
Install Watchtower Reader from the 2006 edition! You might already have this running.
Remember, the 2006 edition comes with two pieces of software: Watchtower library and Watchtower reader. Latter is the newer piece of software with simpler interface. I understand that the society prefer this one because it makes internationalisation easier. Hence the new 2007 edition comes with just one piece of software: the reader! Although, it's now called Watchtower library in 2007.
Confused? Anyway, install the Reader from 2006.
Next, copy the 'rs_data' folder from the 2007 CD-ROM to 'C:Program FilesWatchtowerWatchtower ReaderE' in the bottle. Overwrite the pre-existing folder. Finally, run the 2006 reader. The splash window still says 2006, but the contents are 2007! Note, you do not need to run the 2007 installation program, just copy the rs_data folder.
You might also want to fix the native COMCTL32.DLL issue if you want to read scripture references in tooltips (yellow pop-up boxes).
This is a workaround until the issue between CrossOver and Watchtower Library has been resolved. It means you can read this year's day texts and access last year's Watchtower and Awake issues in the meantime.
