HowTo / Notes

Installation
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 is not installable as of Wine version 0.9.48. It is however possible to get it working though a Windows installation. See the How To
HOWTO

Thank rmorgan at http://forums.openaddict.com/viewtopic.php?t=849 for this How To.

Note: I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 Edgy Eft for this, so change these commands to match up whatever your distro uses to accomplish the same thing.

Warning: Don't steal software. This guide is for users who have a legitimate copy of Dreamweaver installed on their Windows partition. If you don't have Dreamweaver, you can get a copy from Adobe's website here: http://www.adobe.com (we don't get any $$ kickbacks from that).

Ok, on to the steps to get this working!

First, install wine if you haven't already. Like I stated before, I'm using Ubuntu to do this, so apt-get is my choice of software installers. Your distro may be different. Consult your system docs for the correct syntax for your software package management tool.

Note: Make sure you have the latest version of Wine for your distro. The current release can be downloaded here: http://www.winehq.org/site/download

Code:
sudo apt-get install wine


Your wine user directory and other options aren't set up by default, so issue the winecfg command to set up the environment:

Code:
winecfg


which created the necessary .wine directories under my home directory.

Next, copy the entire "C:\Program Files\Adobe" program directory from your Windows partition to the wine program directory "/home/(username)/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/" like so:

(my window's partition is sda2. yours may be different)
Code:
cp -R /dev/sda2/Program\ Files/Adobe/* /home/(username)/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Abobe


This is a large directory, so it might take a few minutes to copy over. It also might be easier for Linux newbies to copy/paste this in the GUI.

After that, copy the whole "Adobe" folder from "c:\Documents and settings\All users\Application Data" to "/home/(username)/.wine/drive_c/window/profiles/all users/"

Then, copy the whole "c:\Windows\system32\Macromed" directory to "/home/(username)/.wine/drive_c/window/system32/Macromed/". Notice that the "ia" is left off the end of the word "Macromedia". This is not a typo.

Next, copy the whole "Adobe" folder from "c:\Program Files\Common Files" to "/home/(username)/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/"

Finally, you'll need to copy over the "c:\WINDOWS\WinSxS" directory to your Wine "windows" directory. Wine doesn't have a WinSxS directory, so copy the whole thing over intact. Dreamweaver needs the latest C++ runtime and other assorted files from there to work properly.

After you have copied all of the program files and system files Dreamweaver needs to your Linux partition, you need to export the Dreamweaver registry keys. Boot back into Windows and use regedit to dump this information to a file:

Code:
Start --> Run --> "regedit" (Enter)


Export the entire "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Macromedia/" registry key to "C:\dreamweaver.reg" and boot back into Linux.

Now we'll need to convert the registry keys to ASCII format with the recode utility. Let's install that program if it isn't already:

Code:
sudo apt-get install recode


Copy over the registry keys to your home directory and convert them to ascii like so:

Code:
recode ucs-2..ascii dreamweaver.reg


And now import the keys into wine:

Code:
wine regedit dreamweaver.reg



Finished! Now cd over to your Dreamweaver directory and run DWCS3! Hopefully it will work... lol

Code:
cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Dreamweaver\ CS3/


wine Dreamweaver.exe



2015-08-06 Admin note: the following was extracted from a user comment made in 2008 and may not be relevant to current Wine.

Things I had to do in addition to the howto:

1. as previously posted the registry entry is indeed Adobe, not Macromedia.

2. my recode failed: Untranslatable input in step `ISO-10646-UCS-2..ANSI_X3.4-1968'

Solved it by using command recode u2..u8 dreamweaver.reg
This turns it to UTF-8 (instead of ASCII) which the regedit is able to import.

3. Got a catastrophic license failure, which was solved by changing wine to run it as win98.
