I suggest you run dreamweaver with some debug channels enabled, maybe starting 
with:
WINEDEBUG=+loaddll,+dll wine Dreamweaver.exe

this should produce some output on your terminal. please mail this to the 
list.

when you run your dreamweaver from a real win install, it uses the program 
file in your dreamweaver directory but the system files of your real win 
install. that means, in wine there could be some problems with files that are 
usually installed in the win/win system dir (e.i. DCOM).

BTW: did you install any native dlls?

cu,

Stefan
