543997 2007-04-24 23:28:00 Ok, I'm wanting to run PhotoShop Elements 2 under Wine. The setup exe path does not work, it throws the following error -

zzum@5[~]$ wine /media/cdrom/adobe photoshop elements/setup.exe
wine: cannot find '/media/cdrom/adobe'

I can get to the PS Elements setup wizard by using autoplay, and that gets me through language selection on to choosing to install Elements 2 or Adobe Reader 5. Clicking the installer button for Elements 2 throws up the following error -

zzum@3[~]$ wine /media/cdrom/autoplay.exe
err:exec:SHELL_ExecuteW cannot set directory L"Z:\\Adobe Photoshop Elements\\"

So how do I fix that, do I have to manually create an "Adobe Photoshop Elements" directory in /home/zzum/.wine/drive_c/Program Files, or is this essentially the same error as the first above, i.e. Wine cannot find the setup.exe within the cdrom Photoshop Elements directory?


As an aside, I had to install MS IE 5.0 or higher :mad: before the Elements installer would work, though prior to that I did manage to get the installer to run the setup.exe (via autoplay, but sans the gui based Elements wizard) which complained after a few steps of progress bars that IE was required to setup Elements. I imagine the autoplay called setup.exe, if I can get WIne to run that (see first error) hopefully I'd be home and hosed, yes?

Bastards, if I can find a way of just running an activeX and/or a .dll or three, I'll get rid of the pestilent IE installation.

Is that as clear as mud? Good, I await your intelligent, witty, correct and concise replies with eager anticipation.

Just in case, in the meantime I'll be trundling around the interweb trying to find answers.

544001 2007-04-25 00:05:00 Myth, you little, or not so little, beauty :thumbs:

I got the blimmin Internet Explorer is required though and the only choice was to exit the installation (it's actually IE4 or higher, though it doesn't matter) .

Ok, although Wine was called in the installation of IE, there was not installed in the Wine directory, so I figure that the PS Elements/Windows installer is looking for it there . I used the Ubuntu* version of IEs4 Linux, should I reinstall this to the Wine c: windows programme files directory?

* I'm using Mepis 6 . 5 which is Ubuntu based .

544002 2007-04-25 00:16:00 I would actually forget about installing the IE4Linux (it may work, then again it may not) and install IE proper via WINE Myth (110)
544003 2007-04-25 00:37:00 Thanks Myth, having a cruis around I've come to that conclusion. Although there is a beta IEs4 Linux that says it fixes issues that look similar to mine, now that I'm in to this (me being CLI averse :blush: ), and things are working sort of, I'd like to carry on the "correct" way.

Thanks for your help.

I'll be back :rolleyes:
