install Dreamweaver 8 fails

[carsten888]

I'm trying to install Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 on Mint Cinnamon 16.

It hangs on the 2nd install screen, which is where to read and aprove the terms and conditions. I can not select the radio-button to agree with the terms.

Could this have anything to do with the smaller-crazy-hard-to-read lettertype that the installer (and any program running in wine) has?

(I installed Cubicexplorer too, and that seems to work fine, but also with crazy font)

Possibly, since fonts should be the normal size. Did you change the screen resolution in winecfg? Did you install any native dlls?

no, but I am having trouble with cinnamon crashing on startup. Could that have anything to do with this?

Yes, of course. Clearly something is wrong with your system, and Wine is going to be affected by that, too. The most likely candidate is your graphics driver.

I installed the mate desktop, so now I got a stable system.

The installation still crashes.

at this point nothing is clickable and the window freezes.

Wine version? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade. If it still crashes, post terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

wine 1.4.1 on linux mint mate 16 on 64 bit.

which terminal code should I use to get a log of the failing install? (I'm a newbee)
On the cd the file is 'install dreamweaver 8.exe'.

(meanwhile photoshop 7 and cubicexplorer installed without any problems. Great!)

wine 1.4.1 on linux mint mate 16 on 64 bit.

The current development release is 1.7.13. You definitely need to upgrade.

The current development release is 1.7.13. You definitely need to upgrade.

how? In the software manager the latest version is 1.4.1 and the update manager says my system is up to date. (sorry, I'm a linux newbee).

in the synopsys package manager

When rightclick the option for update is greyed out (seems like I can;t make a screenshot when the context menu is open)

ok, that was a lot of work, but I got this output

thank you!

the links on that page did not work, but I updated via the package manager. And that made it install without any problems!
