Ran into this again today. I usually launch everything from the commandline, but in preparation for my cebit talk, I started trying to use the GUI and just double- click on apps in Nautilus. (This is Ubuntu 8.10.) Works fine until I try it with the setup.exe in the directory created by the Adobe Photoshop CS2 downloadable trial... at which point it aborts early with a dialog box.
The little script I posted before still works, and lets photoshop's inner installer run.
I suppose this script isn't the final word, though, as I think it will prevent switching discss on multidisc installs.
Probably. It's worth trying out, but I have an idea to work around it:
#!/bin/sh DIR=`dirname "$1"` DIR=`cd "$DIR"; pwd` pushd "$DIR" wine "$@" & popd fg
Could someone try this out? I'm not sure if I have any multi-CD installers easily accessible. Of course, you'll need some way to run "wine eject" when switching discs ...
