Installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 In Ubuntu [How To]
In this tutorial, I will guide you through how to install and fully run Adobe Photoshop CS5 without any errors. We will be installing the Adobe Photoshop CS5 Portable version available for free in internet.
After downloading the installer for Adobe Photoshop CS5 Portable, you will have to first chmod the exe file so that it can be executed.
Now, run the installer and the photoshop installation will complete without any errors. The problem with this portable photoshop cs5 installation is that it will install correctly but might produce the runtime error complaining about the incorrect loading of C runtime environment. The error you are likely to encounter is similar to something below:
To fix this error, I copied all the files from WinSxS folder from my windows XP OS to the wine's C:\windows\WinSxS\. For this, copy all the files of WinSxS folder to USB and then to your Ubuntu OS(or if you are on VM like me, copy paste via the Virtual Shared folders feature). Now, go to Applications - Wine - Browse C: Drive and then navigate to Windows - WinSxS folder. Paste all the WinSxS contents you just copied from windows OS to this folder. See the screenshots below if you are confused from where to copy and where to paste:
Now try to run photoshop portable and you will probably face the error as below:
Now, go to Applications - Wine - Configure Wine and then from the Applications tab, click on Add Application and add the photoshop portable's executable located at $HOME/.wine/dosdevices/c:/PhotoshopPortable/App/PhotoshopCS5. After adding application, select Windows XP from Windows Version dropdown list. Click on Apply and now your photoshop CS5 portable should work without any error in Ubuntu.
I hope this helps. :)
