I cannot open a certain exe program on wine

Post by whopperwhopper »

So, I just installed wine-stable and installed a slightly older version of Adobe Animate from a foreign forum site. I managed to get the Adobe Animate folder like so.

I clicked on the autoplay.exe file and opened it with wine-stable, but it just stayed on a black screen.

And when I try to open the set-up.exe file with wine-stable, it also doesn't work, because it keeps saying it failed to open, even with wine64.

Could someone help please?

Because there is a space in the path name, you must put quotes around the name.
Could you post the out of:

Code: Select all

cd "$HOME/Downloads/Animate.2023/Adobe.Animate.2023.u1.Multilingual/Adobe 2023/"
wine64 Set-up.exe

I tried that, and I got a dialogue box which says "Program Error" and there is nothing in the body of the dialogue box.

Okay, since I cannot edit my forum thread, I have another problem:

When I try to type the path name properly (without the extra slashes) it gives me a dialogue box saying "program error". How do I fix it?
