    Hey guys, having a tough time installing FL studio 12.1.3

    Friends Mac(osx el capitain)
    -Tried installing this for a friend of mine, and when I went to unzip the rar file the screen kept minimizing as if I clicked on 'dash' on the top right corner of the window so gave up and tried to do it on my laptop

    My laptop(macbook pro osx yosemite 10.10.5)
    -Unzipped the rar and used winebottler to try and install the exe file. Gave me a message saying that winebottler was experiencing a serious problem and had to close. Then made the exe file into a app bundle, which worked, but then when I tried to install it using that approach nothing happened. I'm so confused and just want to get this thing working. Tried to search for the issue online as well but have not found a similar issue yet, though I continue to look. Some help would be very much appreciated, thanks again guys.

    why not use the special crossover version? or use the native alpha version.
    best way is still bootcamp with win7 and native FL12 windows version.

    special crossover? I figured I should start with the earliest version of fl studio 12 I could find and then upgrade from there since most newer version of daws or software tend to be upgrades. What's the listed name of the special crossover version + native alpha.

    also what do you mean by bootcamp with win7? (ssj3 noob moment)
