Wine trying to run everything from \\windows\\system32

[matbeard]

Okay, I'm a complete newb... but I don't think this is the way things should be happening.

I've installed Wine 1.0 (and uninstalled and tried 0.96... same problem) on Ubuntu 8.04 and I'm trying to install Dreamweaver 8.

By all accounts, this should be a simple double-click on the exe, but nothing happens. Running the install from terminal results in:

Code: Select all

wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\install_dreamweaver_8.exe": Module not found

I've removed the .wine folder and tried again several times... always same error.

Any clues?

Thanks

It seems I've been a bit hasty.

I've just installed Photoshop 7 and it seems to work perfectly.

Must just be a problem with Dreamweaver 8. Does anyone know how to get it working?

Thanks

Some Windows programs need to be run from the directory in which the executable is located. In the terminal, cd to wherever the installer is, then try running it.

Have you checked the AppDB for it yet?

Are you in the driectory of the exe? Does wine notepad work?

Hi. Yes, Wine notepad works, and I've now installed Photoshop 7.0, Illustrator 10, Quake II and Quake 3 Arena -- all work flawlessly as far as I can tell.

The only dfference is that these were installed from a mixture of external USB drive and downloaded .exe (in the case of Quake).

I'm trying to install Dreamweaver directly off the retail CD. Maybe I should try copying the install files to the HD first. I'll give that a try when I get chance.

Thanks for the input so far.

I got Dreamweaver 8 to install. It was pretty simple in the end -- I just had to copy the CD to my hard drive and remove the spaces from the installation EXE file.

I just like to say... WOW! This is brilliant.

I dismissed Wine for several years, not believing that it would ever truly work. I happy to admit that I was wrong.

I can finally ditch Windows and permanently switch to Linux.

Good to hear it. You might consider looking into Amaya or some of the
other web toolkits available natively in Linux: Dreamweaver is pretty
lousy at producing interoperable (née standards compliant) code.
