Install macromedia 8 on Linux via wine

Linux |

Here is the how-to I posted on the previous version of my website :

Step 1

Install properly the macromedia 8 suite on windows XP ( in C:program files ) and to have at least wine 0.9.11 installed on linux ( You have to run "$ wine" a first time to create the /.wine directory in your home dir ).

Step 2

Copy the whole macromedia folder located in

C:/program files/

/home/<your name>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/

Step 3

Copy the Macromed ( no mistake for the "ia" ) folder located in

C:/windows/system32/

/home/<your name>/.wine/drive_c/window/system32/

Step 4

Copy the Macromedia folder from

C:/documents and settings/All users/application data/

/home/<your name>/.wine/drive_c/window/profile/all users/

Step 5

Copy the macromedia folder from

C:/Program Files/Common Files/

/home/<your name>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/

Step 6

Export the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Macromedia/ key from your registry on windows XP ( "regedit" in execute ) and convert it to ascii using :

recode ucs-2..ascii yourfile.reg

and run it in wine with

wine regedit yourfile.reg

and enjoy

PS : Normally this will work pretty good with most of macromedia 8 softwares but I haven't tested all those yet.
PSS : I haven't tested with the latest adobe suite, so if anyone had tried please let me know if this works.

As I said, this has been tested for The macromedia Suite version 8.
It was quite previsible that this wouldn't work for newer version.
But be sure that as soon as i get my hands on one of these version I'll try to make it work ;)

This doesn't work for Adobe's latest CS3 or CS2. :(
