I've been poking around with it, too.  I found a bit of information that leads
me to believe
that anything that uses 'InstallShield' will not work unless you get
CodeWeavers Wine from
them directly.  It's a commercial addin that supports InstallShield.  At least
that's what I
seem to be finding, anyway.  I would imagine that if you actually install the
package under
windows and then make the Windows C drive the same for Wine, it might actually
work.
You'll have to configure it to be able to read the Windows Registry (Blech!) so
that it can
find it's stuff.

If anyone has any more info, I'd be real interested 'cuz I have a customer that
would
switch in an instant if I could get PhotoShop installed and running.  Don't
tell me about
'gimp'... I know it does everything that PS does but this fellow insists that
he have PS
no matter what.  Since graphic design is his business, I'm not going to argue
with him
about it.

Cheers!
