HOWTO

­

­

Due to bug 18070(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18070) the installation does not work in the current version of wine(1.1.32), which is pretty sad, since the installed application works well.

There are only three ways make it work and neither are really recom­mended:

1. Compiling from git(not for the faint of heart http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/installing-wine-source) 

2. Using an older wine version as described in this test data : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14318&iTestingId=39845 .

­3. Moving a windows installation is another way(after the steps below are made, that is) but that's not possible for everyone.­

Test data submissions from either of these the are likely to be rejected, because installation is an important part of wine, and these work around wine's current installation functionality. 


This is a general instruction on what should be sufficient to install and run Photoshop CS 4 under the current wine version. If the application still does not install or work, a bug report should be made at http://bugs.winehq.org detailing any errors. T­his guide applies to installations of the trial version­ and the Master collection:

1. If not done already, download the winetricks script: wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

2. Install needed redistributables: sh winetricks msxml6 gdiplus gecko vcrun2005 ie6

3. Install MS core fonts(sudo if applicable): sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

4. Run the installation application(you might need to add a path): LANG=C wine Setup.exe

5. To work around the font layer bug(16499), and on your own risk, download atmlib.dll and copy to /drive_c/windows/system 32 .

6. Run the application.

If you at this point have any problems, the correct (and good, non-evil) thing is to check if you bug is already reported among the linked bugs above. If this is you first bug report, look at some other bugs before you file your to get a feel for it. Also read the checklist shown when adding. And don't be afraid to ask if you are unsure.

Please don't use any other workarounds than those mentioned in this howto before submitting bugs as it defines what currently should suffice for the install. Using other workarounds could hide problems.

Please do NOT submit test results for "portable", cracked or in any other way illegal versions, they will be rejected outright. If you want to help out, please either buy the application or use the demo version.



 
How Bugs Affect Application (Do Not Remove)
Bug How It Affects Application
Workaround ­
20492
The installer will fail to start in Wine >1.1.31
Revert to 1.1.31 and follow instructions below.
18070
This causes the installer to fail on all versions of Wine >1.1.17
  1. You will need to compile the latest Wine yourself, and revert commit b8965ee7c90a687af4c84ad0ede73b1df901e16c
  2. See http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko.
    "If you happen to be running Wine without installing it, put the cab file in $build_dir/../gecko/"
OR you can download and install Wine 1.1.17, install CS4 and move back up to the latest Wine.  If you are doing this, you should create a new WINEPREFIX to ensure you do not damage an existing install.  This method is not recommended.
15638
Adobe Photoshop CS4 installer crashes on unimplemented GetProductInfo if run in Vista mode.

Change your Windows version to Windows XP.
18681
The Accept button for the license agreement doesn't work.

Run winetricks ie6

Fixed in Wine 1.1.27.

18202
An unhandled exception occurs when starting Photoshop, and possibly every Wine program following install.

Run wine regedit /D "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\adfs" immediately after install.  The error will appear when you run this command.

Fixed in Wine 1.1.24.

17433
An unhandled exception occurs due to an unimplemented function in gdiplus
Fixed in Wine 1.1.24.
18929 A page fault occurs during the splash screen. Set gdiplus to builtin. This will cause some graphical glitches.
18684
An unhandled page fault occurs in gdiplus.

This only occurs if you do not use the above workaround.

If you must use native gdiplus, you will need to open winecfg and remove the drive z: mapping.

18931
Unhandled page fault when creating a new file.
No known workaround.
16144
Photoshop CS4 will crash when opening a complex file. No known workaround.

Only to remember
by Gregori on Friday November 6th 2009, 6:01
Sorry the purists out there, but I only want to remember that the portable version works like a charm, it's better than even CS2, supports large files, don't have those awful z-index problems with the toolbox windows and integrate very well with the desktop.

You only need to copy as root the gdiplus and atmlib to the system32 folder. The first is essencial and the second fixes the text tool. Only the gdiplus needs the override option in wineconfig.

I'm using it in two computers. (Having paid for the complete app, I don't feel bad using a portable version). It seems that the problems are mainly with the installation and not with the application itself.

photoshop
by Sam on Monday August 31st 2009, 4:15
Photoshop works perfect for me along with dreamweaver.

I installed under 1.1.17 and Did not open them under it but instead upgraded to 1.1.22 and then did it (broke under 1.1.17 when opening for some reason).

I then installed other things like office 2007 and eve-online. In the 6-8 tests I did photoshop always broke AFTER installing eve-online. I am not sure why could be a bug or could be that some how directX apps conflict with photoshop. I decided randomly to upgrade to 1.1.28 and now it all works like a beast.

Wine setup: dreamweaver cs4, photoshop cs4, office 2007 and eve online.

I fixed fonts by installing corefonts and tahoma and times32 and now my photoshop looks exactly like windows fonts and all.

by Psi on Sunday July 19th 2009, 14:00

Someting I left out.
by Kraust on Thursday June 25th 2009, 17:17
My version of Photoshop crashes when I open PNGs but not JPGs or PSDs. This is an improvement over the last time when only PSDs would open for me.

Perhaps it is a problem on my side but it could also be a problem with what Wine uses to read PNGs or something.

Some notes
by k3mist on Thursday June 18th 2009, 15:29
Works really well once you get it running.

Could not install through wine on 1.1.17 or 1.1.23, did not try other versions. Installation was completed as described here: appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14318#Comment-42221

On load you will get an error from wine saying the application has to quit. Close the error and normal operation resumes fine with no further errors. May have to hit space bar or enter if error is not responding by clicking ok with pointer.

No Window Decoration(with or without compiz fusion). Alt+spacebar shortcut works. Alt+F9 works for minimizing.

No docking window dialog's (channels, layers, etc). If a window becomes un-docked, there is no docking it back anywhere. Reset workspace through Window > Workspace > Default.

The tooltip/window hints (yellow note looking thing with information in it) will become stuck on screen wherever they appear on all desktops (only one, so if another tooltip hint becomes displayed, the last one is removed). Disappears when application is closed.

Alt+click for setting healing brush, stamp tool, etc. will not work without changing compiz fusion shortcut for Window Management > Move Window.

UI Font size
by Nicklas Börjesson on Saturday May 2nd 2009, 3:56
I am not sure why, but on my screen I had to change the UI font size(preferences->interface->UI Font size) to "medium" in the application, or else it would look quite crappy. After that, it looked great!

It didn't matter how much i flickered the antialiasing settings in KDE, which lead me to believe that photoshop generates those graphics by itself. Does anyone knows if this is the case?

Now it maybe could work
by Danny T. on Monday April 27th 2009, 16:14
After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04, re-running "sh winetricks gdiplus" photoshop starts, but i got an error dialog. I dont' know how this dialog looks in english language so i just could try to translate it:

Title: The license for this product doesn't work
Content: An error has occured with this product. You have to restart your computer, before the application can start.

If this error occured again after a restart, please contact your it-administrator or the technical support of adobe. Use the error code, you can see in the bottom area of this screen.

error opening non-psds
by Kraust on Sunday April 5th 2009, 9:26
It seems like I've done everything properly with installation (even the text tool works) but I can't seem to open any other types than .psd. I have to go into CS2 and make my pngs psds before going into CS4 and making what I want to make. Any workaround for this?

run PS without Windows
by Robin L on Wednesday February 25th 2009, 8:41
Did anyone manage to install+run Photoshop CS4 without using Windows or a portable version? I'd like to know this because it's not clear if bug #16681 always occurs when you install PS via Wine. It would explain why a lot of people can run PS without this encountering this bug.

Does not install.
by Andre Mohren on Sunday February 8th 2009, 5:18
I installed wine 1.1.14, gdiplus, msxml etc. (but not ie6, cause it gives me a javascript error in install) ans the installer shows up correctly.
I can proceed every step without any problems, but after selecting which components should be installed, i get a screen with "installation will be prepared" and it doesnt happen anything.

Is there a way to fix that?

VersionCue.dll module not found errors
by RolandP on Sunday January 11th 2009, 10:11
I got the following error when opening files:
Error: The specified module could not be found. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\VersionCue.DLL
My Photoshop cs4 installation directory is different than the default one, in my case
C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\...

Linking this directory to C:\Program Files\Common Files solved the problem for me

Menu glitches
by Aleh Skverniuk on Tuesday November 25th 2008, 12:43
Wine 1.1.9, Ubuntu 8.10, Compiz off, winetricked libraries like described before.

Everything starts fine, runs ok, everything works, but there's a serious menu issue. When you are mouseovering top menu entries and selecting their items/subitems - menu boxes aren't getting properly closed and stay on screen.
