Updating HP Prime Virtual Calculator Running on Mac OS X with WineBottler?

[Stefan]

Okay Success!!

I tried it again. This time not with WineBottler, but with Crossover for Mac, same should probably work for Linux. The file system permissions didn't seem to be a problem this time.

How I did it:
1. Download and install (Trial version) of Crossover for Mac ( https://www.codeweavers.com/products/cro...%2Ftosf%2F )

2. Now I first installed the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (the installer will be downloaded automatically by crossover):
2a: Start Crossover, click "Install a Windows Application"
2b: In the search field enter "visual c++ 2013", choose the corresponding entry from the list
2c: Choose the "Bottle" in which to install, I created a new "Windows 7" bottle with name HP_Prime.
2d: Click install.

3. Now we can install the Prime Emulator:
3a: Download the latest version of the Emulator (http://ftp.ftp.hp.com/pub/calculators/Pr..._04_27.exe)
3b: Open Crossover, Right-click the "HP_Prime" Bottle from the list, choose "Install Software into HP_Prime"
3c: In the list scroll all the way down, choose "non-supported application".
3d: Next click "choose installer file" (My system is set to German, so it may be labelled a little different than what i Write here, but I guess you'll figure it out, because only Geeks use HP calcs anyway ), and choose the previously downloaded exe
3e: Install!

4: Enjoy


My System: MB Pro, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3
