I don't know how to find out, except that the app is the Crossover Office demo installer. I'd like to try to find a way to trick it into running in the linux compatability mode of FreeBSD if I can.

If you can tell us that, we can almost certainly tell you how to fool it. Of course, if you have the source code, it should be easy as you can just comment out the test and recompile. Mind you, if the app is as short-sighted and bloody-minded as its developers, maybe you should just look for an alternative. --Alex
