--- Comment #14 from John Stansfield john@todnet.demon.co.uk 2008-09-11 07:49:21 --- Bridge will start up and work properly if the file 'install.adb' is present in 'Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS2' This file is an XML file containing Photoshop serial number information, install dates etc. and seems to be what Bridge is looking for to determine whether there is another CS2 application installed. The Wine installer does not create/install this file, but it can be copied across from a Windows installation if one is available.
Once this is done, Bridge works flawlessly. It's a pity this problem cannot be rectified as Bridge adds so much functionality to Photoshop - to me Bridge is a vital component of Photoshop.
In Windows, Bridge itself has an install.adb file in its program directory (as I suspect does every other CS2 application) and this also does not get created by Wine; however, this seems to be of no consequence here, but may cause problems elsewhere perhaps?
