There were recently [1]patches for getting the Adobe Photoshop 2025 installer to work on Linux under Wine. Those patches were [2]picked up by Wine-Staging and now more traction is coming for getting those patches into the upstream Wine codebase, some of which have now been merged.

Merged overnight was [3]the XMLSerializer implementation for MSHTML . This is part of the work needed for getting the Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Creative Cloud installers to work on Linux and was broken out from the main pull request for easier merging.

That XMLSerializer component is now in upstream Wine Git ahead of the Wine 11.3 release next week. There still are the three other patches needed though for satisfying the modern Adobe Photoshop installer so it works fine on Wine and the app then running.

[4]This merge request has those remaining parts that will also hopefully be ready for upstream Wine soon given the interest and punctual activity.
