Ubuntu – Problem installing Photoshop on 16.04 LTS

16.04photoshopwinewinetricks

I am having a problem installing Photoshop CS6 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. So far, I have tried following the thread with no success:
How can I install photoshop CS6 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?

The installation of wine does not pose a problem. However, installing the atmlib library with winetricks (winetricks -q atmlib) does not seem to work, as the error message reads:

Downloading http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/6/A/E6A04295-D2A8-40D0-A0C5-241BFECD095E/W2KSP4_EN.EXE failed

Trying to install CS6 by running the set-up.exe file with wine gives me the error: "Installation failed, installer failed to initialize."

Currently Gimp is not an alternative to Photoshop. Please advise, as using Windows causes severe headaches…

Best Answer

Manually install the latest version of Winetricks:

cd /usr/bin
sudo rm -f ./winetricks
sudo apt install wget
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks

Then run the winetricks command again.
