Summary: Adobe Photoshoop CS4 installer fails Product: Wine Version: 1.1.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: Installer Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: shdocvw AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
With today's wine from git, three problems keep photoshop cs4 from installing.
First, it downloads gecko, but hangs afterwards; you have to ^C and restart the installer.
Second, dialogs are often painted with three-quarters of the content missing, and the remaining quarter misplaced. Moving the dialog offscreen and back on usually fixes this. So this is both a showtopper for the average user and a cosmetic problem.
Third, the very first dialog that is shown is mostly blank. Jacek knows why: our gecko engine is out of date, and can't handle negative values on some css properties. He came up with a simple workaround: when this happens, kill the installer (with wineserver -k), then edit .wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Installers/d6da2ba33e237f559e70b443726029b/resources/media/css/main.css and replace the line z-index:-10; with the line z-index:0; That's easy to do by cd'ing into .wine and applying the attached patch with "patch -p0".
After that, the installer runs successfully to completion. (It uses 350MB of RSS; anyone know how much RAM it uses on Windows?)
