wine users - Apr 2012 - Photoshop CS5 crashes upon selecting text tool.

Everything else works fine, but I can't get the text tool to work. The
program crashes upon selecting the text tool.

I have tried using different versions of WINE from 1.3.15 now through to the
development version of 1.5.1.

I have noted that there is a bug report in place  -
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30032

However there is no solution, 

I've tried using the patch for CS4,
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16499

Again that didn't work. 


The version of Photoshop I'm using is the exact same version I was using in
Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit - WINE 1.3.29. The text-tool ran fine before I switched over
to Peppermint OS 2.

I've tried to fix it by manually placing amtlib.dll & msvcr80 in the
C:\Windows\system32 folder. Nothing seems to be working and I just don't
understand why it won't work in Peppermint 2 when I had it working on Natty,
because Peppermint 2 is based on Natty.

Did you try winetricks atmlib?

Probably not without your help. Post the terminal output on
pastebin.com and link here.

Look at the wine entry on CS5
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=25607&iTestingId=70359)
it specifies that you need to run
Code:
winetricks gdiplus msxml3 msxml6 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 atmlib



I had an issue with msxml6, but it turns out I didn't need it. I ran 
Code:
winetricks gdiplus msxml3 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 atmlib

 and now the text tool works perfectly. You probably only need the atmlib
package, but I know for the fact that the above command works and fixes the text
tool issue (Arch x86_64).
