Aobe Digital Editions 4.5 on Ubuntu 18.04.4

Post by Bolikl »

Hi All

Very new to Linux so please go easy! :)

TLTR (skip the following paragraph)
A bit of context. Kobo reader doesn't support the cloudLibrary that I am using. Unfortunately I can't use another as they aren't supported either.
After spending half a day, I managed to install wine and ADE 4.5. Thank you to whoever posted the instructions. However I cannot seem to launch it.

The only way I found how to launch Digital Editions, is by going to the folder and typing: wine DigitalEditions.exe.
When I do that I get an error (of course).
"The entry point method could not be loaded due to Could not load file or assembly 'PresentationFramework, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies."
2 questions if I may
1. Is there another way to launch the file?
2. What should I do to fix the error?
Wine version 5.0 based on the terminal response

Thanks all.
Please let me know what other information would be useful to "debug" this...

Going by the appdb page you will need 'winetricks corefonts dotnet40'. Info on winetricks is here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks
