Adobe Digital Editions 3

I got really excited when I learnt that ADE 3 can be installed. I get this when following the steps on the Wine ADE3 page.

I have Ubuntu 15.10 (64bit), running Wine 1.7.2 from the Ubuntu repo. Later Wine version cannot yet be installed because of broken dependencies.

Note: command 'wine dotnetfx.exe /q /c:install.exe /q' returned status 26. Aborting.

If it's any help, the Windows command window shows the error "The entry point method could not be loaded"

Any thoughts? Thanks. Barry

That's one problem you have to fix.

Beyond that, I'm not sure dotnet40 was installable in the two-year-old version of Wine you are using. You really need to upgrade. If you are unable to build Wine yourself you could try the Wine-staging package (which contains experimental patches).

Thanks - I thought that would be the case. The later version is in the Ubuntu proposed 'held back' packages because if that version is installed, it breaks most of Ubuntu. The same will apply if I build it myself, (or try the package you mentioned). Safest thing is to wait. It should be in 16.04, which I will start testing as soon as the first pre-alpha is available; usually before December. I'll be able to test it out there before it gets backported to Wily.
