Photomatix Pro 4 Tips

Follow the developer instructions

The developer of the app has instructions for installing the app in standard WINE. Just install the mentioned programs. If you can't find it through crossover, Google it. 
Here are the instructions for Ubuntu 11:
NOTE: DO NOT follow this guide completely. You are running crossover, not the regular wine. 
Instructions for installing Wine and getting Photomatix going under Ubuntu 11 
 
 
 
To run Photomatix Pro, you will need a recent 32-bit release of Wine (the 64-bit version of Wine currently does appear to be able to run Photomatix). Later releases are likely to run Photomatix better than earlier releases. Release 1.3 or later is recommended. We go through installing this first. To do all these steps, you should be logged in as a normal user, not root.
Installing Wine
1.Open a Terminal window: Applications menu -> Accessories -> Terminal
2.See if Wine is already installed:  $ dpkg-query -W wine1.3
 If you get a response such as "No packages found matching wine1.3", you don't have it installed or have an old version.
 If you see something starting with "wine-1.3" (e.g. wine1.3 1.3.15-0ubuntu5), you have the correct version and can skip to the Installing .NET framework section.
3.Ask the system to update its list of software:   $ sudo apt-get update
4.Now try an install of Wine:  $ sudo apt-get install wine1.3
5.Check again to see if you have a more recent version:  $ dpkg-query -W wine1.3
 If you are still getting seeing "No packages found" errors, you may need to reboot your system, and then try updating it again: 
$ sudo apt-get install wine1.3
Installing .NET framework
You need the .NET framework loaded in Wine to be able to run Photomatix Pro version 3.
Important: From Microsoft's license conditions it appears that to legally install the .NET framework, you need a license for a copy of Windows that you are not currently using, or at least a copy where you are not going to install the .NET framework. (Bear in mind that the .NET framework comes pre-installed on some Windows versions like Vista.)
1.To load the .NET framework, we first make sure we have the cabextract utility: 
$ sudo apt-get install cabextract
2.Wine creates a folder called ".wine" in a user's home directly, and sets it up with appropriate folders. We can ask Wine to do this for us like this: 
$ wineprefixcreate
 You may receive an message saying that wineprefixcreate is deprecated. This is nothing to worry about. Later versions of Wine set up the .wine folder without being asked.
3.Download the program "winetricks" which can load Windows components: 
$ cd ~/.wine 
$ wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
 You should see some text, and arrows moving across the screen. If the download is successful, you should now be able to install the .NET framework in step 4
4.Install the .NET framework: 
$ sh winetricks corefonts 
$ sh winetricks dotnet20 
$ sh winetricks gdiplus
 The first command should produce a lot of output. The second should also, but after a little while you should see a Windows installer come up on your screen and guide you through the installation of the .NET framework.
Installing Photomatix Pro
1.Download Photomatix Pro for Windows 32-bit from the download page. Be sure to download the 32-bit version.
2.Wine uses the folder ~/.wine/drive_c for the C: drive on the Windows system that it is simulating. Copy the Photomatix Pro installation executable into this folder. For that, change directory to where you have saved the downloaded Photomatix Pro, and run this command: 
$ cp PhotomatixPro41x32.exe ~/.wine/drive_c (note: you can also use File Browser to do this)
3.Install Photomatix Pro: 
$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c 
$ wine PhotomatixPro41x32
 After quite a few messages have been printed on the screen, you should see the Windows installer that guides you through installing the software. You can launch it now if you like. Later you can run it again using this command: 
$ wine 'c:\Program Files\PhotomatixPro4\PhotomatixPro.exe'
 You can set up an alias for this so you can run it more easily: 
$ alias Photomatix="wine 'c:\Program Files\PhotomatixPro4\PhotomatixPro.exe'"
 You can edit your .bashrc and put this alias permanently in your system if you like.
