--- Comment #8 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
the following link gives some insight: http://www.xyclopsoft.com/blog/2013/01/07/get-free-adobe-cs2/
After EOL'ing CS2 products and making them available for free (at own risk on modern Vista/Win7 OS), Adobe also provided special serials/keys for the product downloads.
Those keys have the online activation scheme *deactivated* by design. I ran into the problem/crash because the old key I used for investigating the installer problem involves activation scheme. This is no longer supported since the activation server for these EOL'd products is dead anyway.
If people encounter this problem of CS2/PPro2 installer crashing with Wine using an old key which involves product activation and the installer works for them on Windows please notify/contact me, so I might be able to investigate further.
Regards
