Additional Comments
Install it using original "Windows Installer 2.0 Redistributable for Windows 95, 98, and Me"! (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21990)
1. Change path to downloaded Windows Installer directory
1. Run: wine InstMsiA.exe /C
2. Type the following path when asked: C:\windows\system32
3. Answer yes for questions about overwrite.
5. Change path to PSP9 setup directory
4. Run: wine setup.exe
5. Next,next,finish..
It freezes at the end so close it by force.
After this everything should work out-of-box.
When you first start the program pay attention for introduction dialog boxes because they are modal and must be closed before you can access the main window (this is not a bug).
After you close the program it may stay in memory for 1-2 minutes before really exits.
There are some good alternatives to this application that might exist for your platform. You'll find a list on the main page of this application.
Restoring save/tool/filter functionality
2013-05-03 Admin note: this howto does not appear to have been updated in a long time, and may no longer be valid. It is being kept here for the benefit of anyone who may wish to test and/or update it.
Although the file open/save dialogs are not fully functional, opening
files may be accomplished using the "Browse" feature and the open/save
dialogs remain somewhat usable by "feel" (read: rampant, blind
clicking.)
In order for most filters, the undo/redo system, and brushes to work
you will need to apply the following workaround, adapted from:
http://tjworld.net/wiki/PaintShopProFailsOnWine :
1) Create a file named mkdir.mawk in your ~/My PSP9 Files/
directory, and paste the following section (enclosed in comments)
inside.
##Begin mkdir.mawk contents
$0 ~ /JSC/ {
if ($0 ~ /not found in/ && $0 ~ /wine_nt_to_unix_file_name/) {
temp=substr($0,2+index($0,"L\""));
temp_len=index(temp, ".tmp")+3;
temp=substr(temp,1,temp_len);
temp_parts_qty=split(temp,temp_parts,"\\");
dirname=substr($0,13+index($0, "not found in ")) "/" temp_parts[1];
print "Creating temporary directory:", dirname;
system("mkdir \"" dirname "\"")
}
}
##End mkdir.mawk contents
Save the file, and create a second file in your home directory called runpsp9 - and paste the following inside:
##Begin loader script
sh -c 'env WINEDEBUG="+file" WINEPREFIX="/home/$USER/.wine" \
wine "C:\\Program Files\\Jasc Software Inc\\Paint Shop Pro 9\\Paint Shop Pro 9.exe" 2>&1 | \
awk -f ~/My\ PSP9\ Files/mkdir.mawk'
