Dreamweaver CS6 with Wine 1.5.11

[Nice10150]

I know it's officially not supported, but I'm experimenting to run Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 with Wine 1.5.11. I'm actually pretty far and it seems that I'm missing something, but have currently no clue...

It sometimes helps to ask others for advice, so hereby... does anybody know why I get weird characters when I open a HTML document? If I copy the text from the HTML document (copy-past) to notepad.exe which I also run with the same Wine version the characters change to normal text...

Attached I have also the terminal text log and two screen shots which make the problem clear. I also need to say that all text in the menus and system messages is in normal English (without weird characters).

Looks like it's using a symbol font. Try winetricks corefonts.

The corefonts are already installed

I solved the problem, and Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 works flawless – the problem is that I not really understand why it now works.

What did I do... I installed a few things that I wanted messed up the /.wine folder so the quickest and easiest way too clean this up is to copy the /.wine folder to a backup folder. Deleted the original /.wine folder and run Wine Boot. After that I copied everything in drive_c back from the backup to the /.wine folder, that done I started wine regedit and imported the original MS Windows XP register entries for Adobe Dreamweaver CS6...

Now Dreamweaver CS6 works without any problems, no funny characters and it seems also a bit more responsive. Additional to the characters being correctly displayed, Adobe Extension Manager CS6 also works and I'm able to install extensions... (something like a bonus)

Now I only need to figure out why it works... and previously not...

You can avoid having programs mess things up for each other by installing them in separate wineprefixes. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#wineprefix

Thanks for the information, but I know how to use wineprefixes, I run tests on a computer I only use for testing, so the delete button is often the fastest way to start over.

how did you run dw cs6 on linux?

[Nice10150]

Currently I use Wine 1.5.20 and Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 runs fine.

Yes Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 runs fine with Wine, only the installation doesn't work so you need a MS Windows computer, I use a MS Windows XP virtual machine with Oracle Virtualbox.

You need to install Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 in MS Windows XP, enter your serial number and register it. After that you copy the program files/adobe folder to .wine/drive_c/program files/adobe

copy the program files/common folder to .wine/drive_c/common

copy the /windows/sxs to .wine/drive_c/windows/sxs

and copy the /windows/system32 to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32

Now you have to open regedit on your MS Windows computer and search for adobe, after you find one you click on it and export the entry...(probably you find two entries)

In wine you now can import the register entries by typing wine regedit.exe name-of-the-file.reg

Now if you start Dreamweaver you probably get an error, so you have to download the Adobe Application manager http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/ ... ftpID=4773. Install the Adobe Application Manager with Wine and now when Dreamweaver starts you need to enter your serial number again and registration... finished and dreamweaver will run faster than when you use it with MS Windows...

how did u solved the problem regarding symbol??

[Nice10150]

how did u solved the problem regarding symbol??

I'm not sure what I did the second time I installed DW CS6 with Wine, but for my feelings I did exactly did the same thing. Currently I use Wine 1.6rc2 and Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 still works...

I only have some text disappearing in the website setup, but I'm confident that I soon will find a solution for that....
