    im under the assumption that this is macromedia for the mac. if that the case then u have to understand that mac runs under the unix kernel where as windows runs on the NT kernel. with these differences of OS's its impossible to install a mac program onto windows without external software in the likes of WINE

    Thx for your reply, i googled wine and its for windows based programs running on macs?

    i thought maybe an emulator could do this?


    if i was to download an emulator can i just install macromedia onto windows then or do i need to install mac OS first using the emulator, to get the program to install?

    Cheers

    try "acquiring" the same program for windows and just use ur mac cd-key. also WINE is for windows programs on linux
