This is an install script for Adobe Creative Cloud, designed to be used with PlayOnLinux. This downloads and installs the Creative Cloud software from Adobe's website. Once setup is completed, you can use the Adobe Application Manager to download and install Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, and other apps.

A (free) Adobe ID is required to install additional applications. Most Adobe applications require a paid subscription.

NOTE: Only Application Manager, Photoshop CC 2015, and Lightroom 5 have been extensively tested. This method does not allow the installation of CC 2017 applications, only the earlier 2015 versions. I'm looking into a fix. If you run into warnings about video memory size, open PlayOnLinux and go to Configure > Display > Video memory size.

1. Download PlayOnLinux from your distribution's package manager (e.g. Ubuntu Software Center) or from the PlayOnLinux website
2. Save the install script to your computer
3. Open PlayOnLinux, go to Tools > Run a local script
4. Select the install script you just downloaded

After the setup process is finished, you can open Adobe Application Manager from PlayOnLinux to download and install the apps you need. If the installer crashes, see the Troubleshooting page.

I made this script because getting Creative Cloud working in Wine is pretty difficult, thanks to multiple versions of the setup program being available from Adobe's website that vary in compatibility with Wine. I found that the Creative Cloud setup program from the Photoshop download page works best in Wine, especially when the OS is temporarily set to Windows XP.

Here's everything the script does, if you want to re-create this in normal Wine:

• Creates a new Wine prefix and sets the OS to Windows XP
• Installs atmlib, corefonts, FontsSmoothRGB, and gdiplus
• Downloads and runs the the Creative Cloud setup program from the Photoshop download page (direct link)
• After Creative Cloud/Application Manager is done installing, set the OS back to Windows 7 so newer apps can be installed
• Creates a shortcut for PDapp.exe (Adobe Application Manager)
