Hi Guys,
The installer on Dreamweaver CS5 doesn't work as of yet with Ubuntu however it can be run by copying files from a windows partition or virtual box..
Here is how i done it...(using Kubuntu 10.04 and Wine 1.2)
Code:
sudo apt-get autoremove wine
This will get rid of the Wine version that you already have.
Removes the Wine directory
Code:
sudo apt-get install wine
Installs a fresh version of wine WEYHEY!
This may take a while
This will now configure your wine installation. If you get an error message here its possible that you haven't deleted your old .wine folder
The next step is to install the Dreamweaver dependencies. For this i cheated and used winetricks
Code:
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
This will download the winetricks script and change its privileges to be executable
Code:
sh winetricks gdiplus gecko dcom98 vcrun2008 ie6 msxml3 vcrun2005sp1
Above should install the requirements. Fingers Crossed
When this is all done, next is the tricky bit. I dual booted into windows xp sp3 and installed my Dreamweaver CS5 on there. I then pressed windows + R and ran regedit and exported the keys from localmachine software adobe saving them in my C:.
Just a quick note, my xp partition is 32bit and the dreamweaver installation is also 32 bit. In Ubuntu i am using 64bit but i have the 32bit library installed . not sure if this will effect anything.
Back into lovely ubuntu i mounted my xp volume and copied (from the top of my head so dont follow links exactly):
c:/Program Files/Adobe/ into .wine/drive_c/program files/adobe
c:/Program Files/common files/adobe into .wine/drive_c/program files/common files/adobe
c:/documents and settings/mynamebutyourswillbedifferent/application data/adobe to wine/drive_c/users/mynamebutyourswillbedifferent/applications data/adobe
c:/windows/system32/odbc32.dll to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/odbc32.dll
c:/windows/system32/odbcint.dll to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/odbcint.dll
I then copied the adobe registry keys which i exported from regedit into my user area folder.
Code:
wine regedit adobe.reg
This should import your registry keys into wine. To be honest i think i encountered an error message here (i installed it last night at about 2am so i cant remember too much). i just googled it and found an override in wine to combat it.
next we need to override the odbc32 and odbcint in the wine cfg so run wine config again
Click the libraries tab and from the drop down box select odbc32. then select built in then native. Do the same for odbcint (you may have to just type it into the drop down box and press enter)
Edit: Thanks to Vehuel for this step!
Another override is rpcrt4. Edit it to be Built in then native also!
Cheers again Vehuel
and finally we should be good to go!
cd to the dreamweaver exe, for me it was:
Code:
cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Dreamweaver\ CS5/
and finally run
Code:
wine Dreamweaver.exe
Any problems just comment or PM
