Help getting Adobe Air loaded on Wine 6.0.3

[surfrock66]

I apologize if these are simple questions; I've been googling but I don't interact with wine much and nothing I've found has helped yet.

I am trying to install an application with an Adobe Air dependency (Netgear ProSafe Plus Utility). I have various Adobe Air runtime installers from oldversions.com, but can't get any to install.

I've created a new 32 bit wine prefix at ~/.wine32 and run "winetricks wininet" and "winetricks ie8" per recommendations, but when I run this:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 WINEARCH=win32 wine adobe-air-2-6-0-19140-AdobeAIRInstaller.exe

I get the following in the console, then the attached stack trace:

Code: Select all

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 00000000 at address 05BD9B92 (thread 00fc), starting debugger...

Here's the head of the stack trace:

Code: Select all

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0x05bd9b92).

This is an Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS VM running on Proxmox 8.1. I'm way out of my depth here, so any help is appreciated.

If I remember correctly you can install Adobe Air on older Wine versions with the -silent option.

Code: Select all

# Create a clean 32-bit prefix and set the Windows version to Windows XP
WINEPREFIX=~/netgear WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

# Install Adobe Air
WINEPREFIX=~/netgear wine AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -silent

You can also update Wine to version 9.0.
