Adobe Photoshop CS Forum

finally figured out why some could install this and some couldn't

you need to install one of the 4.2 betas then install the final release of 4.2 over it then when it comes to installing photshop every thing "should" work (make sure its in win2k mode)

if you do a straight 4.2 install you'll get some error. i also got alot of errors when attempting this seems to be a luck thing i've only managed to install it twice so far i have no idea why it some times works and some times doesn't but this is the way i got it to work

good luck to anyone trying

its the activation bit at the beggining ive installed it and now using it its great

what you do is once uve installed in win 2k mode then run it, it will say error with libary or something like that , then you get an activation crack use it then re open it , it will work ,,

although you cant curl the brush its just a straight other than that perfect 😊 😉

i've posted some screenshots

Thats great mate i was kinda thinking i had some freak comp cause not to many ppl could get it going :)
for some obscure reason when it does work (rair event) theres no activation which i found really nice compared to running it in windows

if u give me ur email ill send u the crack my email is realmadridfan@hotmail.co.uk

This also explains why it works for me. I'm using a corporate version of Photoshop CS that doesn't do activation or is pre-activated, or something like that.

Sounds like we're very very close. I wonder if anyone with an early 5.0 build might be able to give this a shot.

cheers that would be great

thats not good news my version is a retail version that requires a activation in windows only but in crossover it doesn't does that mean that crossover is a "circumvention" tool under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

IANAL, but I think "circumvention" needs to be intentional to qualify under the DMCA. The point of Wine is to have Windows apps behave EXACTLY as they would on Windows. If they don't, it's a bug. It may be a convenient bug to some, but it's a bug and I think it's pretty provable that the bug's existence is unintentional, and that the Wine developers would prefer if the software behaved differently (i.e. exactly like Windows). Where does the fault lie in Wine's inability to 100% perfectly emulate a Windows environment--with Microsoft, interestingly, not with the Wine developers or the Wine users.

Not only that, but case law shows that interoperability is a valid reason to circumvent copyright protection (the "garage door opener" case), so Wine attempting to run Photoshop is not in itself a problem.

It doesn't mean Adobe can't sue anyone, though, it just means they won't likely win in court. Usually this is irrelevant as the cost of winning in court is prohibitive. Such is life in America. Adobe can sue you just for breathing right now. Don't worry about additional things unless a real lawyer (which I am not) advises you that you should be worried.
