How To Install Dreamweaver CS3 In Ubuntu Hardy

It would be great if there is a Linux build of the popular Dreamweaver CS3, or that it could be easily installed via WINE. The truth is, none of the above work. There is no Linux version, nor will it work via WINE direct installation. The only way to get it to work is to port it over from a Windows installation.

If you are new to Dreamweaver CS3, it is one of the best, if not, the best web editor software in the market. While there are many open source and free web editors out there, none of them come close to it in term of quality and capability. Although it comes with a hefty price tag of $399, it is well worth the money if you are into serious web developing. As such, if you wish to follow this guide and install Dreamweaver CS3 in your Ubuntu machine, please make sure you have the licensed copy, or proceed to Adobe to make your purchase. Do not attempt to use illegal software.

Initial Installation – WINE

We will need WINE to create a Windows environment for Dreamweaver. If you have already installed WINE, you can skip to the next section.

sudo apt-get install wine
winecfg

The WINE configuration window will pop up. Click OK to close the window. You can now find a .wine folder in your Home directory (if you can’t see it, go to View and check “Show Hidden Files“).

Porting Dreamweaver CS 3 From Windows

Install your Dreamweaver CS 3 in Windows. (For this step, I would advise you to install it on a Windows virtual machine so that you can transfer files between the two OS easily later on.)

Now there are 5 main folders that you need to copy to your Ubuntu machine.

1) Open up File Manager and navigate to C:\Program Files. Copy the whole ‘Adobe‘ folder to Ubuntu /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files folder.

2) Still in the Windows File manager, navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\your-windows-user-name\Application Data (if you can’t find the Application Data folder, go to Tools->Folder Option->View and select ‘show hidden files and folders‘) and copy the whole ‘Adobe‘ folder to Ubuntu /home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/All Users/Application Data/

3) In the Windows File manager, go to C:\Program Files\Common Files and copy the whole ‘Adobe‘ folder to Ubuntu /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files

4) In the Windows file manager, go to C:\WINDOWS\system32 and copy the whole ‘marcomed‘ folder to Ubuntu /home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

5) In the Windows file manager, go to C:\WINDOWS and copy the whole ‘WinSxS‘ folder to Ubuntu /home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows

Next, we need to import the Dreamweaver registry to WINE.

In  your Windows, go to Start->Run. Type in ‘regedit‘ and press Enter.

In the window that pop up, on the left pane, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SOFTWARE->Adobe->Dreamweaver. Right click on the ‘Dreamweaver‘ folder and select ‘Export’. Save the file as dreamweaver.reg

Copy this dreamweaver.reg to your Ubuntu home folder.

Now you need to convert the registry file to ASCII format.

sudo apt-get install recode
recode ucs-2..ascii dreamweaver.reg
wine regedit dreamweaver.reg

At this time, you have successfully ported all the necessary files from Windows to Ubuntu. To test your installation:

cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Dreamweaver\ CS3/
wine Dreamweaver.exe

Dreamweaver CS3 should now launch.

Creating entry in Applications menu

To create an entry in your Applications menu, right click on the Applications menu and select ‘Edit Menus’.

Scroll down to the Wine->Programs entry and select New Item. Enter the following

Type: Application
Name: Dreamweaver CS3
Command: wine /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe/Adobe\ Dreamweaver\ CS3/Dreamweaver.exe

Click Close. You should now see an entry in your Application menu. You can drag the entry to your desktop or to the panel to create a shortcut.

    Well Im gonna try it, gonna try the same with Golive, may work the same way, would be superb !

    Reply

  • Ron says:

    Ok, GoLive works perfectly as well, but I couldn’t find the .reg key, so I went some illegal and found another one, and installed it just after the install on Ubuntu. So there should be no need, in my opinion, to export the key.

    If it’s legal, no prob to enter the key manually again, if it’s illegal, than, you can enter the key just like that ;)

    Thanxx for the idea !

    I should have mentioned

    my machine is Ubuntu 8.04

    I copied those 5 folders from my Windows Xp , where the Dreamweaver is fully functioning

    May be I should mention that there together with Dreamweaver there are Photoshop and Flash CS3, but I guess this is not a problem since I copied everything to Ubuntu…

    Thanks

    @chandler: Did you install any Adobe or Windows applications with your wine before? If yes, you check /home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows to see if there is more than one instances of the WinSxs folder. If yes, delete them all and copy the WinSxs folder over from your WinXP machine again.

    Thanks for the great tutorial…
    I personally had some issues with installing this and having to deal with the license issue. Though, I fixed this by firstly, placing wine in win98 before installation and then renaming WinSxS and Manifests to lowercase.
    Now im rocking.
    Thanks guys.

    Where is this mythical “Manifests”?

    I followed all the above instructions, though running it in windows 98 does not work. It enter the debugger and I get this error “err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0×415eb6d”. A ghetto way to make this work if you don’t want to download the cracked exe, you can configure wine to run in xp and then wine Dreamweaver.exe. It will pop up with the license error. Before you click ok, note that the next steps will have to be completed very fast.

    Click ok,
    then quickly click one of the open new documents. html, xhtml, php, etc… (really you just need to click in that general area quickly). Once you select one, then start typing then
    a dialogue box will show up asking you if you want to save.
    Click yes.
    Then click cancel.

    And that is that.
    … it works, I guess. A little annoyance but worth it to not use windows.

    Some people are experiencing this issue while others are not. What you can do is to remove everything that you have copied over, load the winecfg and change the wine version to win98. Repeat the same process again to copy all the files over from Windows. Hopefully it should work this time.

    I followed your instructions and I managed to install DW CS3 in Ubuntu 9.04. As mentioned before by someone I resolved my “catastrophic licensing failure” by removing completely wine (I also deleted my .wine folder), reinstalling it again, setting Windows version to “Windows 98″ and following your tutorial from the beginning.

    IT WORKED!!! :)

    Then, I configured wine by adding in tab “Applications” Dreamweaver.exe (it is in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Dreamweaver CS3) and by setting it’s Windows Version in “Windows 98″. Then I turned Default Settings in “Windows XP”.

    My only issue (I had that from the begging, before turning the default settings in winXP) is that I cannot exit DW, it just frozes. If I use the terminal to run DW I have the following message a couple of times:

    “err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0×267fa30 “?” wait timed out in thread 0009, blocked by 001c, retrying (60 sec)”

    and then Ubuntu’s pop up that the application is not responsive and I “Force Quit” it. Any ideas?

    In any case a great THANK YOU!

    It worked in the begining after it prompted me to enter a key for dreamweaver toolbox. It accepted the key and opened the Dreamweaver. But After few seconds it closed with this message header “Licensing for this product has stopped working” The contet of the message says “You can not use this product at this time, you must repair the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help”

    sorry for bad translation I know English

    Setting Dreamweaver CS4 + Wine. Ubuntu 9.10
    Install not work if you use the latest version of Wine. (I failed) Download the version is 1.1.14!
    Winetricks take through the console or swing arms

    ~$wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

    Then set the wine, and then again in the terminal:

    ~$sh winetricks corefonts ie6 gdiplus msxml3

    Download and install the required components.
    Then go to the folder .wine/drive_c/Program Files create folder Adobe and in this folder are throwing the installation file

    And again in the terminal, run the installation file

    ~$ wine explorer /desktop=eve,1280×1050 “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Autoplay.exe”

    You can also install Photoshop CS4
