WINE - Cannot install adobe flash player (file not found er)

[Nick Inzomniac]

have a problem installing Adobe Flash Player in Playonlinux or Wine standalone. I have read all related threads with Adobe Flash installation problems and have not found relevant information. I have downloaded the setup file (Adobe Flash Player 26), when I run it the install progress bar goes to 100% but then I get "File not found" in PLayonlinux and the specific error when i run it from the terminal using Wine is :

Code: Select all

fixme:atl:AtlAxWinInit version 0300 semi-stub
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\Macromed\\Temp\\{F2A84C35-FB21-455C-BCB5-1C29862B909A}\\InstallFlashPlayer.exe"
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\Macromed\\Temp\\{F2A84C35-FB21-455C-BCB5-1C29862B909A}\\InstallFlashPlayer.exe"

Obviously the installer .exe also needs an InstallFlashPlayer.exe to be included?
I have this problem with Adobe Flash 26 but also previous archived versions (23,24 etc..)

Adobe Flash Player 26 (Firefox plugin - well you'd didn't specify which platform) installs for me:

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX="${HOME}/.adobe_flash_32"
export WINEARCH=win32
wineboot -u
winetricks sandbox
winetricks winxp

With Wine Staging 2.12.

It probably won't worked very well - there's a good reason winetricks only supports Adobe Flash Player 14!
Looking at WineHQ AppDB: Multimedia / Adobe Flash Player / 20.x doesn't inspire confidence...

Hm, I suppose that if for example I install the Adobe Flash Firefox version, I must have Firefox already installed in the same virtual drive, right?. I have tried this already with Wine 2.0.1 and 1.7.47 and 1.8. I might have to give it a try with Wine Staging Wine Staging 2.12

I managed to install it successfully using Wine 2.12 staging, 32 bit architecture and Win 7
