[casi4711]

Hello, i tried to install PS CS5 in my debian running mashine. I followed the instructions from some tutorials, but i cant start the installer, even when i try to install it with playonlinux. When i start the PS installer i get the following:

We ve encountered the following issues:
Installer failed to initialize. This could be due a missing file. Plese download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem

But this is not the solution, anyone knows of the problem and can help me?

tnx

Long-known bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22680

According to the AppDB, the workaround is to copy a Windows install. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=20158

Hmmm I thought I read the installer bug had been fixed in a recent Wine update (maybe that was something else). Ah yes the show stopper.

I while back I tried out the AppDB suggestion of installing to Windows and copying the install over to your Linux box. I used Windows XP Pro (32-bit) - I already had this installed in a VM. Worked first time. PS CS5 runs a bit slow (no GPU acceleration) but looked otherwise reasonably OK (with a few bugs). Still working I see with Wine 1.5.2 (just tried running it again)...

If you want to wait for Wine to do the whole installation - sign up for email alerts on that bug.
