Installing Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 with WINE

amphibious · 01-04-2004, 02:17 PM

So, I'm trying to install Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 with WINE. When I first ran 'wine <installfile.exe>' it gave me an error about having stdole32.tlb. So I got a copy of it, and tried again. Now it's giving me an error about my operating system not being supported. :-/

Anyone know what the workaround for this problem is? Anyone know if there is a tutorial available?

Go to Frank's Corner - he has a number of howtos for installing programs with Wine - Dreamweaver MX is one of them. It's a previous version, but the instructions should still be correct.

Offhand, I'd say that you have wine configured to be Win95 and MX2004 is 98 and above. Check your system requirements (either from the box or the Macromedia website) and then comment out the win95 setting and uncomment whatever MX needs in your wine config file.

in this tutorial he says you need to download and install dcom95.exe... and when i try to install it, it tells me i need to be running 95. :-/

it's set to imitate 95 in the config file.

ok... i installed dcom... but not dcom95, dcom98. but i still get the same error from dreamweaver about not supporting the os. i've tried all the different options too, all with the same errors.

Maybe the newer version of Dreamweaver is set up not to work with the current version of wine. Problem is, wine is always playing catch-up
