Published Bypassing the Meta Horizon Link Drive Check in CrossOver, a write-up of the narrow binary patch that got Meta Horizon Link past its CrossOver drive eligibility check. The interesting part is that the patch did work, but only revealed the deeper problem: the installer depends on Windows service identity, driver, and runtime behavior that CrossOver does not provide cleanly.

I patched the Meta Horizon Link installer just far enough to bypass its CrossOver drive eligibility check. It got past preflight, downloaded, asked for a restart, and then revealed the real problem: nothing usable had actually installed.
