Hi,

I am trying to use wine to start Macromedia's Dreamweaver MX. This is what I am getting:

ai@linux:/> ls
bin data1 etc lib media opt root srv tmp var
boot dev home lib64 mnt proc sbin sys usr windows
ai@linux:/> cd windows/C/ProgramFiles
ai@linux:/windows/C/ProgramFiles> ls

ai@linux:/windows/C/ProgramFiles> cd Macromedia
ai@linux:/windows/C/ProgramFiles/Macromedia> ls
Dreamweaver 8 Dreamweaver MX Extension Manager
ai@linux:/windows/C/ProgramFiles/Macromedia> wine Dreamweaver MX
wine: cannot find 'Dreamweaver'
ai@linux:/windows/C/ProgramFiles/Macromedia> cd Dreamweaver MX
bash: cd: Dreamweaver: No such file or directory
ai@linux:/windows/C/ProgramFiles/Macromedia>

as you can see Dreamweaver MX is there (it's blue in my console which means it's a directory right?) linux says it is not

Does it have anything to do with the fact that Dreamweaver MX has spaces?

Thanks

UNIX and Linux do not get along very well with directories or file names that use spaces. To move to the directory Dreamweaver MX, you need to use the command:

cd "Dreamweaver MX"

The double quotes allow Linux to handle the space character properly (as part of the name).

To start an application from the command line with Wine, it is best to move all the way to the directory that holds the executable and then use the format:

wine application.exe

Where "application" would be the name of the Dreamweaver executable. Also remember that Linux is case sensitive.

Well, trying to execute a directory will not work. You need to find the .exe file that is used to start Dreamweaver in Windows.

Even then you'll probably run into missing .dll problems.

Your best option is to install (setup) the application using wine by running the setup.exe.

Good points. The application does need to be installed first by Wine in the special windows c_drive created by Wine.

Now that I look at it, it almost appears as though trox is trying to run it from a regular Windows partition, which cannot be done as far as I know.

Try using Crossover Office to install Windows APPs on Linux, works great !

OK,

So I used the quotes around the file name.(great suggestion by the way ) and this is what I got:

ai@linux:/windows/C/ProgramFiles/Macromedia/Dreamweaver MX> wine Dreamweaver.exe
err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by L"Z:\\windows\\C\\ProgramFiles\\Macromedia\\Dreamweaver MX\\Dreamweaver.exe") not found
err:module:import_dll Library MSVCP60.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\windows\\C\\ProgramFiles\\Macromedia\\Dreamweaver MX\\Dreamweaver.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\windows\\C\\ProgramFiles\\Macromedia\\Dreamweaver MX\\Dreamweaver.exe" failed, status c0000135

What is going on here anyone?

Thanks

The errors are very simple. It is telling you need the require DLL files. Either try to copy from a Windows installation or download the DLL files from http://www.dll-files.com/. Usually the DLL files are found in windows/system or windows/system32.

I recommend using VMware instead of using WINE because the program is run more reliable in VMware.

So I found the dlls needed and installed them into the proper directory. When I try to run wine this happens:

ai@linux:/windows/C/ProgramFiles/Macromedia/Dreamweaver MX> wine Dreamweaver.exe
fixme:seh:EXC_RtlRaiseException call (from 0xafa37a) to unimplemented function MFC42.DLL.6571
fixme:msvcrt:_XcptFilter (-2147483392,0x55c3f960)semi-stub

What do I do now? I've googled this but now real luck for answers.

Thanks

The first to do is go here
http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=1054

You may need to change your DLL overrides to make Dreamweaver work.

I still recommend using VMware. Use Xensource if you want a complete open source virtual machine. Xensource can run Linux and Windows at the same time using virtual hardware extensions although you will need to do a complete computer upgrade.

Why does wine not find Dreamweaver.exe when it is clearly there?

What do i do from here anyone?

Thanks,

what's your distro?
How did you install wine? version?
How did you install Dreamweaver? (manually, installation program ect..)

just give a look to the following URL : codeweavers . com
it will solve your problem for Flash MX and Dreamweavers and other Win Program, it's really great
