Does anyone know if the Adobe CS4 suite will install on Wine?

Also, does anybody know of wine 64bit issues? I seem to have better luck with wine when I was running openSuSE 32bit.

if you MUST use the Microsoft ONLY Adobe CS4

install it on Windows 7

Look at wine App Database it is for Photoshop, for other search there.

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?

Wine isn't a guaranteed solution. It runs most things, but not everything.

It appears that it worked at least partially on Wine 1.1.4.

What version of wine are you running? What distro? And at what point does the installation fail?

Ok,

1.3.12 Wine 64bit
1.3.12 Wine 32bit binaries

openSuSE 11.4 64Bit x86_64

Error attached Says serious problem occurred. Right at the beginning of the setup.

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.

There is a documented way to run that in wine. The problem on this forum is it may be against the EULA, therefor I may not be able to help.

No I have not. Perhaps I will check it out.

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

Thanks for your responses
Im trying some of the stuff and ideas that were talked about on here.

Ill post any headway I make, that will make this thread a little more informative

CS4 does not work under either Wine or Crossover. There is no timeline for when it will, if ever.
