Hi! I am Venezuelan. I speak spanish, english no much.
I have this problem. I cannot install Adobe CS5 on Ubuntu 14. Always gives me installation error. Portables do work.
I can install using Windows? Connect PC with windows, to my laptop with Ubuntu. Installation Route => Z:/Home/User/Wine/drive_c/program files/
This is possible? Any better ideas? Help please!
Si me pueden enviar respuestas en español por MP lo agradecería.
Saludos.
Install using Windows?
Re: Install using Windows?
If you mean run the installer in Windows and install it to the wineprefix, no, that won't work. For one thing, Windows can't read native *nix filesystems. But even if it could, an installer run from Windows would not make the needed registry entries in the wineprefix.I can install using Windows? Connect PC with windows, to my laptop with Ubuntu.

What you could try is installing the app in Windows, then copying all the installed files and registry entries to the wineprefix. Note that while this method might work, it is not supported, so please do not file bugs for any problems you encounter.

Winetinto something dimesio did not say that is critical.
Under no case ever point anything in wine Drive_C to a real Windows drive C. Issue is wine in it fake Drive C use stub files. These are .exe and .dll files that contain just enough information to trick most applications that libraries and executable exist when wine is using elf.pe replacements. Result is if any core file on real windows ends up replaced by a wine stub the only way to fix Windows so it works again might be a reinstall.
Wine is strictly not Windows. Wine is its own unique envornment its also like installing multi versions of windows in the same partition it don't turn out too good.
When you hear about people installing in windows then using it wine they should have copied the directory not linked it.
