Hello. I'm new to this forum. Before I posted this, I did due diligence searching for an answer to my problem. I found and tried 2 possibles; but neither would work for me. First my machine specs: 64 machine dual boot between WinXP and Ubuntu Janty Jackalope 9.04. When I used Hardy Heron 8.04 last year, I was able to install Version 7.0 of Dreamweaver MX on a fluke.. I still don't know why it worked... Anyway... I uninstalled it because I had some other issues..Tried to put it back on and it failed. I have also tried to install version 6.0 of DWMX and I am getting the error: "An installation support file '%systemDrive%\Program files\Common files\InstallShield\engine\6\Intel 32\corecomp.ini' could not be installed (0x8000ffff)" I have tried copying the entire InstallShield folder from my WinXP drive; into the "home/me/.wine/drive_c" folder. I have upgraded Wine to 1.1.24 beta from 1.0.1.8 I have removed wine with 'rm -rf ~/.wine I have run 'export systemDrive='C:' I have run 'export systemDrive='drive_c:' I have tried installing from CD using Wine and not Autorun, because Autorun doesn't work either. None of this effort works. I get the same error eveytime. I have tried getting help on Ubuntu forums; but I fear that people there are tired of me and my problem. No solutions yet. I desperately want to use Dreamweaver MX on my Unbuntu OS and migrate myself away from Windows XP.. ALL windows OS products. I can't afford to purchase Dreamweaver 8.0; although I've heard it's worth it and installs rather easily on Linux. I'm not very well off financially, and can't afford to spend money on "possible" software solutions. I'm a freelance web designer, and I'm not making much money at it. Does anyone have any step by step debug help they can offer as a way for me to unlayer why this program will not install from CD using Wine? i'm really running out of ideas; and I can't understand why I was able to install DWMX ver 7.0 a year ago, succesfully... it's a mystery to me. Please help. Rick (shobuz99)
The HowTo in the AppDB entry for Dreamweaver MX appears to have been updated fairly recently. Have you tried following that? http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1054

The terminal output you posted was from winetricks, which installed dcom98 just fine. You need to post the terminal output from trying to install Dreamweaver, including the command you used to run the installer.

I do appreciate the time you're taking to help me. Ok. I went to the Wine FAQ 3.2 and read the instructions for install from CD. Followed instructions "First verify that CD-ROM is mapped to a disk drive in winecfg "Drives" tab (ex D: -> /media/cdrom)" I got this error in Terminal, when I clicked the drives tab in Winecfg: rick at rick-desktop:~$ winecfg err:winecfg:open_mountmgr failed to open mount manager err 2 err:winecfg:open_mountmgr failed to open mount manager err 2 fixme:msg:pack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet err:winecfg:open_mountmgr failed to open mount manager err 2 fixme:msg:pack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet err:winecfg:open_mountmgr failed to open mount manager err 2 Winecfg would not let me map the drive. Is this a bug? I'm running Wine 1.1.24 Beta... I will say that I still tried the command while in the media/cdrom directory and got this error: rick at rick-desktop:/media/cdrom$ wine start Install\ Dreamweaver\ MX.exe fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100 rick at rick-desktop:/media/cdrom$ Don't mean to be a simpleton, but what is next? Am I doing something wrong or missing something? Thanks again for your help. Rick (shobuz99)

I have zero experience with "source control mechanisms, like CVS or Bazaar"... I took a look at git-wine and downloaded the 1.6.3.tar group of 3 files and then kept reading the instructions, and it became clear to me that I know nothing about what I'm actually doing.. for instance the cloning part. Sorry, but this is way over my head...unless you'd really want to give me a step-by-step tute on attaining the git-wine process, etc. I don't expect you to do that. I am capable of reading instructions and all, and I've got some baic understanding of linux/unix/aix....BUT, this is very involved IMO. I may just give up trying to do this. I mean, it's all for the sake of using an windows app that I can't do without as a tool for web design. I'm an old guy. Set in my ways. Willing to learn; but cautious. Thanks for all your help...even if you still want to help me. I'll try.

Mount mgr is only one of them. It looks like your observation about X crashing is accurate..

Austin i have somewhere to start. First: what do you recommend as a fix for the graphics drivers? Can I reinstall the drivers and recover? if so, your suggested steps 1-2-3..?? Second: I did have drives tab of winecfg working at some point. It clearly listed them and no mount error.. I'm afraid i've no experience running a compile.. I don't know the first step... What could have messed up Ubuntu in the first place? I don't remember, but I could have run sudo something that sholdn't have been...is that it? Third: I like your solution for capturing the errors from wincfg. If nothing else, at least I can put up those errors here, for analysis and a narrowing down of the problem. All in all, I really do thank you for your help. Especially on this holiday.. Appreciate it very much Rick (shobu99)
shobuz99 wrote:> First: what do you recommend as a fix for the graphics drivers? > Can I reinstall the drivers and recover? if so, your suggested steps 1-2-3..??Depends on your distro, driver and method if installation. Consult your distro's forum and driver documentation for more info. If still unsure, use package manager and re-install latest driver version. shobuz99 wrote:> Second: I did have drives tab of winecfg working at some point. It clearly listed them and no mount error..Wine doesn't properly initializes it's configuration (WINEPREFIX default is ~/.wine) because of the crash. There isn't much you can do without fixing 1).
I thought I should let everyone know that I have solved my problems with my graphics driver & card and I was able to successfully install Dreamweaver MX 2004. I also installed an updated Wine (1.1.26) through pkg updater along with the Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-14-generic update. I followed the instructions that were given previously, and all went well. The MDAC message did appear, but everything else seemed to go well. I did see some strange "fixme:" messages; but I forgot to save them to a file for your review. I should have, I know; because even though Dreamweaver is installed now, and wine is configured to run dreamweaver.exe in the Wine application list; I can't get dreamweaver to launch using wine, or wine program loader, or the command 'wine start' from terminal, or trying to launch it from the folder in drive_c/program files/macromedia/dreamweaver.exe.... I think those messages should be in one of the logs, correct? Is anyone still interested in helping me with this? Again, thanks for all the help you have already given me. I appreciate it.
