Running CrossLoad for Production on a different machine

I'm using CrossLoad for Production and it works fine on my development machine which has CrossStudio installed. If however I run it on a different machine it fails with an error reporting missing files. What gives?

CrossLoad is simply a command line version of the CrossStudio loader and therefore still requires support packages to be installed in order to carry out the download correctly.

The simplest solution is to install CrossWorks on your other machine and install the required support packages using CrossStudio's package manager - this can be done without an license activation.

Alternatively, you can manually copy the missing package files yourself and use CrossLoad's -packagesdir option to point to the directory you have put them.
