To install on a clean .wine prefix In Ubuntu Jaunty or Karmic (from http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14514):
If you already have wine installed, delete or rename your ~/.wine directory if you don't want to lose your current wine programs and uninstall your current wine installation by typing sudo apt-get remove wine in your terminal.
You will need to install git if you do not already have it by typing sudo apt-get install git into your terminal. To download the wine git repository type git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git ~/wine-git
Type cd ~/wine-git to change directories to the wine source folder. You will need to use git to revert commit b8965ee7c90a687af4c84ad0ede73b1df901e16c by typing git show b8965ee7c90a687af4c84ad0ede73b1df901e16c | patch -p1 -R into your terminal and then you will need to apply this patch by typing patch -p1 < ~/path/to/patch.diff
Now you need to compile wine. I compiled it by simply running ./tools/wineinstall as it recommends in the WINE installation instructions. Take a coffee break while WINE compiles and come back to download winetricks
type cd to get back to your home directory.
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks will download winetricks chmod +x winetricks will give winetricks executable permissions sh winetricks msxml6 gecko gdiplus vcrun2005sp1 ie6 winxp to install the required winetricks.Now run the Setup.exe from your terminal by typing wine ~/path/to/Setup.exe
The buttons in the installer GUI will not be visible but by clicking around or tabbing you will be able to find them. On installation, I received an error that Setup.exe needed to close when Adobe Illustrator was installing but it didn't close for some reason and the installation completed.
Flash will now be installed but will crash at startup.
