Spring RTS Engine

After a long hiatus (yay gradschool) I'm interested in trying Spring again, except now the only machines I have at home are Macs. I have Crossover Games 8.0 on 10.6.1, but SpringEngineInstaller.exe hangs on the last file("zlibwapi.dll"), and then I get an error stating that "XTapeV959.sdz is not a valid map/mod, it may be corrupted, try to redownload it."

I was able to get the base Spring_0.80.4.2.exe to install fully, but when running Spring Module Updater to get some mods, I experience the same "XTapeV959.szd..." error.

Any thoughts on this?

Bootcamp/Get a windows machine?

well, without the zlib file Spring doesn't know how to open the map and mod archived format... unfortunately that doesn't really help you at all... there was a mac version in the works that you should be able to find somewhere around here... the only reliable way to run SPring on a mac is using Windows or Linus.

some guy did have a working os x binary a while ago, no?

Thank you for the info folks. I have an MSDN subscription through my educational institution, so I may just end up with Bootcamp/Windows.
