Wine fails to install Adobe PS

Tony_photoplus · Post by **Tony_photoplus** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 3:39 am

I have tried a few rtimes now to install Abobe PS7 (not a crack) on the latest Linux Mint and now on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit. I am having the same problem in both. Is it because my new comp is a 64bit?

An error occurred while loading the archive.
[/media/cdrom0/Autoplay.exe]
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
note: /media/cdrom0/Autoplay.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /media/cdrom0/Autoplay.exe or
/media/cdrom0/Autoplay.exe.zip, and cannot find /media/cdrom0/Autoplay.exe.ZIP, period.

Looking forward to your replies as its important that I can get it working.

Thanks

Tony

It appears that your system thinks autoplay.exe is an archive and is trying to extract it instead of run it.

Try running the actual installer (probably named setup.exe) from the command line. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-f351523 ... 8da63be66f

Terminal output? What Wine version do you have?

Terminal output? What Wine version do you have?

The version is the one that Ubuntu has on its packages and that is V1.01

There is no such version. If you meant wine-1.0.1 - it's too old, update. Latest Wine version is wine-1.1.17

Yep being pedantic it is 1.0.1 but with so much morphine in me I just didn't quite hit that button on the keyboard.

But Wine recommends as does Ubuntu that old out of date 1.0.1 as its stable. Not sure how then to over-ride the Ubuntu package manger if it only states that one.

Thanks

I have the latest now and it still isn't working. I can only think it is to do with my 64bit comp. Has anyone any other ideas? I do need Wine to us certain software that Linux as yet cannot compete with.

Thanks

Post terminal output, including the command used to run the installer.

Since updating Wine I did try that and it didn't work, however, it did work when I put terminal into cd desktop. But that only worked for the downloads .exe program providing I took them out of my download file and onto the desktop. The same process didn't work for the Photoshop and I didn't know how what to do then. So I opened up the disk to view the files and just to see I right clicked the Photoshop.exe and not the 'Autoplay'. I clicked on open with Wine and surprise!! It opened up and started loading and now its working. BUT! I have a problem with the docks and I know thats a Wine fault which they might or might not sort out.

Thanks for the input

Tony
