Re: Photoshop CS 2 won't run in Wine [SOLVED]

[Dave M G]

I recently switched from Ubuntu to Linux Mint 14. When I was using Ubuntu, I ran Photoshop CS 2 reliably with Wine, on both my laptop and my desktop computers. Since moving to Mint, unfortunately Photoshop will never open, and I get an error that says "File not found".



I tried re-installing, and also installing into a custom directory, but that hasn't helped. I tried restarting the Wine server with wineserver -k, and rebooting, but neither helped.

I get the same error if I try to run Photoshop.exe from the command line, even if I'm in the directory where the file is and I can see it listed when I run an ls command. So I don't think this is a matter of the Photoshop.exe file not being found, it is some system file or Wine setting.

How can I get past this error and have Photoshop running consistently?

Thanks for any advice or help.

Have you considered using playonlinux? It has an install script for CS2 that works a treat.

I had never heard of Play On Linux before this, but I just installed it, and it seems to have got Photoshop up and running. Thanks for the tip!
