wine users - Jan 2009 - Wine is not running at some installers

Hi all, i'll first have to say sorry my erratic odd english, that even when
is understandable , is... quite strange, i'm from other country.. you
know...
Now, i have been looking at the post of Wine looking for a solution for one
problem i'm having. sadly but kind of funny for me, i'm always ending in
a problem trying to solve another problem which cause was looking for a solution
for another problem, but as it must be done, i'm making things step by step,
now this is the deal; i tried some applications i had for windows (no regrets or
something for left Wista XD) and ran very smooth, cool indeed, but when i tried
to install Adobe's Illustrator, Photoshop and Flash, the installer
didn't run, and i mean, didn't run. I tried to cover almost anything i
had in mind, for example, the '.Wine'  Directory seem to emulate the
Windows system, as it is composed of a 'C' directory in which we can
find 'Program Files' and 'Windows', obviously i guessed it was
about the dll or other kind of libraries that Windows's System have from
default, unfortunately i couldn't Copy/Paste some files i had ready as my
Ubuntu couldn't dealt with my USB (err... other issue i'm solving right
now) nevertheless, i looked further with the internet, i heard of this problem
but with different applications, none Installers.. (i said 'hear'?, i
meant 'read'), also some little weird things about the latest version of
Wine for example 'Ares Galaxy' closing for some errors and
'minimizing' in a glitchy way, but all (but the issue of installer)
compressible for being Wine 1.1.11, the Question, how can i solve this?

Wine 1.1.11 Clean (i mean, no skins or further modifications, nor even Dlls just
some programs and unchecked two checkboxes from the options of Wine)
Ubuntu 8.10 Semi-Clean (i can say i started the new year with new OS, but i
already started too customize it at my like)

Thank you in advances, Happy new '09 and congratulations for make such
useful tool, it makes life a sweet as GNU/Linux do for advanced users of OSs =)

First stop is the http://appdb.winehq.org  Look up application remember to click
through on version and see if there are any special instructions.

Some cases it can be a simple regression in wine code. 

Flash you normally don't install in wine instead use native Linux version.

~/.wine/drive_c/ is the virtual C driver location.   Wine is not windows.   If
you just copy windows in you end up with more strange problems than you can
dream.

Run wine from console and on stderr output wine will display debuging
information that is sometimes really helpful to know how program failed.

I hope my english is read able enough.   I am native english with dyslexia your
english is not too bad.

ye, i understand how is handled all that somehow, what doesn't make sense to
me is that the installer itself can't run, i understand also that CS3 may
not work in the current version of Wine, but are we talking that it doesn't
work from the installer itself? while i wrote the last reply i had myself a
research loooking for some software, but still no luck. would the stable version
solve my problems? at least with installers?
