How to start adobe_diged4 Adobe Digital Edition

Post by CalamityJane »

Noob question, sorry....

I used wintricks to install Adobe digital editions and if I type

Code: Select all

$ winetricks list-installed
the result list contains adobe_diged4 so it looks like it was installed.

But how do I start Adobe Digital Edition to use it? Bash? kde start menu?

fyi: I am using kubuntu 22.04

The source code of winetricks says:

Code: Select all

w_metadata adobe_diged4 apps \
    title="Adobe Digital Editions 4.5" \
    publisher="Adobe" \
    year="2015" \
    media="download" \
    file1="ADE_4.5_Installer.exe" \
    installed_exe1="${W_PROGRAMS_X86_WIN}/Adobe/Adobe Digital Editions 4.5/DigitalEditions.exe" \
    homepage="https://www.adobe.com/solutions/ebook/digital-editions.html"
If you have a default Wine installation, you can start Adobe Digital Editions with:

Code: Select all

cd "${HOME}/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Digital Editions 4.5"
wine DigitalEditions.exe

Thank you! My path was:

Code: Select all

~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Digital Editions 4.5
and with that adaption I could start ADE 4.4

I have never worked with wine before.....

The ~/.wine/drive_c/ directory is your virtual C:\ drive.
From there, the path names are the same as on Windows.

If you have any questions about Wine, you can always post them on the forum.
