There is no Mac installer right now. Or are you using a program like Boot Camp?

He either doesn't play mxs on that Mac or is using something that emulates the Windows environment. You can't install mxs on a normal Mac and play it, it won't work.

You can install windows on a mac though and then you could play it.

If you're having trouble finding the install folder read this topic.

I suspect the easiest thing to do is use the install folder.

What happens when you search your system for "MX Simulator"?

Those are the wrong folders. Make sure you have hidden files enabled in your search. On Wine/Linux it would be "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/MX Simulator", and the leading . in .wine makes it a hidden folder. It's probably something similar for Crossover/OSX.
