I don't want to be a pest but can you 'splain? Do you mean make it run on wine to be Windows 7, like Wine running Win7? Or is that your way of saying, if I must run a WINDOWS ONLY product Im stuck using Win7?
I sometimes see that error pop up on apps I've already installed. In those cases usually restarting the app once or twice will get it past that. I presume you've tried this and it doesn't work?
However if a program simply won't run in the installed version of wine, it might also produce the same error and it might be hard to get around it without tweaking your wine install.
is Dreamweaver 32 bit or 64 bit specific? Does it match your wine install?
I dont know anything about tweaking a wine install. Which is bummin me out because I dont want to run my Adobe CS4 products on my Win7 install. Feel foolish beating my 'Go Penguin' drum around my microsoft lovin friends.
Photoshop 6 runs like a charm on my Wine tho
To continue with response, I set windows version to Win7, and moved install files to the win drive. Something thats kinda curious is..
If i run it with the Wine installer/uninstaller it breaks and shows error message right away. If I browse with a file manager (Dolphin) and double click on the Setup.exe file is starts to run(But twice, since I double-clicked). It seems like its taking a while but it might be working.
Have you tried something like Crossover? Its an improved commercialized version of wine that will often run things that wine won't by default (and in some cases, won't run things that wine runs). It can be installed without having to remove wine, and it might work better for you. It costs money to buy but you can get a trial if I'm not mistaken.
K, it started but its stuck....
I have different redists/installers for the Dreamweaver so Im trying some different combinations with the Win version for the heck of it.
there is wine tricks and if needed you can fire up wine's "regedit" and edit the "wine" MS registry
hacking the registry is the same on wine as on windows
