I’ve attempted several times over the years to run ConnectedText in a CrossOver bottle. CrossOver is a hyped up, sort of pricey, version of wine. CT runs OK, but CT’s user interface gets ugly when running under wine. Running CT in wine always messes up my CT license.

If you Google the IPSFactory error you’ll find numerous threads on the topic. The gist seems to be an InstallShield issue. The advice seems to be “go find a different version of wine”. I’m sure that’s not helpful.
