Do it by creating /rw/config/qubes-bind-dirs.d/cxoffice.conf: binds+=( '/opt/cxoffice' ) binds+=( '/etc/crossover.conf' ) Then install crossover, and execute /usr/lib/qubes/init/bind-dirs.sh to actually move the files to /rw (just one time operation after install).

I learned a great deal in the process. Putting it short, you can get past your MS-product addiction, if you push through it. However, it's true some aspects of the MS-products still prevail, for example the difference between Calc and Excel, is a massive headache, considering how much each of them can do, and do in such a different way. But if you don't use Excel, then I don't see much reason to stick with MS-products, or perhaps, you got some reason I overlooked? I once fancied the aesthetics of MS-Office (and I still do), but after growing used to LibreOffice, I don't care much anymore. The aesthetics are still nice and all, but it's just not as important as it was before. Perhaps you can use some of these thoughts, or perhaps you got valid reasons, whichever is the case, I hope you find your sweet-spot. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

After that you can install the Windows apps in the App VM because they are installed in the user home dir I tried 2h to install Office 2016 with Crossover 17 using a Fedora 25 Template under Qubes 4rc3. While the installation of Crossover itself is very easy, I wasn't able to install office 2016. The Installation starts, but end in a loop, after installing the dependencies like fonts the Office 2016 installer launches and then the window dissapears and the installer keeps saying it is installing. But nothing else happens. This test was done with the offline installer of office 2016 from the o365 package. I'll try to rerun with an office 2016 pro plus installer [799] . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
