It probably best to download V5.0.9 from the Family Historian web site rather than use FH Help > Check for Updates. http://www.family-historian.co.uk/downloads/latest-free-upgrade Then you can install the download directly into the Crossover bottle. Also installing Ancestral Sources V3 works OK. If you install Windows Script 5.7 then many FH Plugins will run OK. There is advice on several other related topics.
