Hello.
At the end of installing crossover pro 9.1, I was provided the following message:

cxmenu:error: unable to parse '/etc/xdg/menus/unity-place-applications.menu': Invalid string in comment field [Ln: 157, Col: 8]


I opened unity-place-applications.menu and looked at that line. Starting with line 155:

<!-- System Tools-->
<!-- Note: Software Center uses an OnlyUnallocated clause to generate
-- the System section. We can't do that because we have the All Apps
-- section. Let's cross fingers and hope we match somewhat
-->

I'm guessing that the comment lines that start with just "--" are generating the error.
Does anyone know what the section is and what it should look like for the crossover menu items, such as installing windows software?
Thanks,
-tom

I know this is over a month old but just to let others know... you can open unity-place-applications.menu and just make that comment into:

<!-- Note: Software Center uses an OnlyUnallocated clause to generate the System section. We can't do that because we have the All Apps section. Let's cross fingers and hope we match somewhat --> *note that is just one long line.
