| 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: |
