wine doors not uninstalling?

jhyland87 · Post by **jhyland87** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 9:26 am

Hey guys, so I have a major issue, photoshop wont load unless I delete the system settings by holding ctrl shift alt when I start photoshop, it then will boot up.. however it wont load any psd file.. and when I shut it down, it gives me the same error as when I had to delete the system settings, the error is like...

sorry but this has encountered a harware or system error, the error is unrecoverable..

I think its because its the trial version, I HAVE a photoshop key now... however when I click on help, the activate button is not optional. so I think this error is due to the trial version.. So I wanted to un install photoshop, then reinstall with my key.

When I uninstall photoshop, what it does is it opens up the repair/remove window, I select remove, and click next next next etc etc. and then restart the pc.... it doesnt remove photoshop though, the icons, settings, regedit settings, photoshop folder, all remain, only difference is it is listed as an uninstalled program on wine doors... but it is installed.

anyone know how I can uninstall?

If uninstaller does not work the only option is to 'rm -rf ~/.wine'. That will remove _ALL_ programs installed under Wine. If you have several programs you should really consider using separate WINEPREFIXes for them (see 'man wine' for the explanation of hot to use it).

Don't use winedoors - photoshop (older versions - see appdb) installs and runs fine as-is with few extra requirements.

Try this:
cd ~
mv .wine .wine.old
wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks corefonts vcrun6

Then reinstall Photoshop. I bet it'll work. You probably
didn't have the needed font installed when you installed
Photoshop the first time.

and I thought that wine doors installed all the fonts for you.. I installed photoshop the same way on my work pc, without fonts and it works

We do not support wine-doors, that's something you'd have to ask them.

Sure, and when you come here, you have to leave wine-doors
at the door, as it were.

It's not a matter of love. It breaks Wine configuration in a ways that can not be and will not be supported. If you want to get any support here on this forum you can not use winedoors. As simple as that.

We can't really support any of the third-party addons
because they aren't under our control.
if you want support from us, please reproduce the problem
with plain old wine.

If you prefer not to do that yourself, you should turn to the
support team for your particular addon, and
they might be able to do it for you.

It makes use of lots of native windows DLLs, which can cause
unpredictable behavior in wine, and makes it harder to find if the
problem is wine/wine doors/the windows dlls/some combination of these.
