[HOWTO] Dreamweaver 8, Flash 8 with wine 0.9.11

[kthakore]

Install dreamweaver 8 and Flash on a seperate winxp partition
This is for all the web developers out there! Peace!
What I find is doing this on a fresh installation of ubuntu 6.06 works best.

Upgrade ubuntu to lastest standards
Iron out and video card issues (especially if you have fglrx)
Than install kerebros and all its required files (this is to give your dreamweaver full support like accessing servers)
make sure libgl and SDL is latest
Install wine 0.9.11
reboot compy

then follow this guide on this site (http://www.zwhlug.nl/content/wine_how_to_get_macromedia_dreamweaver_8_fireworks _8_and_flash_8_working)

right-click on desktop and create a launcher. Call it dreamweaver 8
and this is the command
wine "C:/Program Files/Macromedia/Dreamweaver 8/dreamweaver.exe"

right-click on desktop and create a launcher. Call it flash 8
and this is the command
wine "C:/Program Files/Macromedia/Flash 8/flash.exe"

if flash and dreamweaver splash image comes up but the application doesn't start. Get the FF7 crack for it on the internet and apply it through wine.

also try sudo wine on the commands for the launcher

enjoy!!

Tip: Do this on a fresh install of dapper/wine

P.S this is my first how to so if I miss anything than plz let me know.
hopefully I can find a way to make CS2 work.

anyway peace!!

I assume you mean kerberos? Either way, installation requires the removal of the FTP package. I went ahead, but I am assuming that this was correct.

Where is this so called FF7 crack? I am having the exact problem you describe and sudo wine is not helping.

Thanks,
Dylan

I've come across a bug where I can't resize dialog boxes

http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i283550_Untitled.png (http://www.imagehosting.com)

In this case the "site definition" wizard

Is there a known fix for this?

Thanks in advance

I've managed to solve the dialog box resizing issue, it don't look pretty but it works

type in winecfg in a terminal

then go to the graphics tab and uncheck the box that reads 'allow the window manager to control the windows'

this defaults wine applications to their generic windows behavior and ugly blue theme
