Summary: Photoshop CS2 doesn't ask to activate, fails on 2nd run Product: Wine Version: 0.9.53. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download, regression Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Sometime in the last month, Wine stopped being able to run the Photoshop CS2 tryout properly. It no longer tries to activate, and on the second run, it says it cannot continue due to a hardware failure.
The error err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x1502750 "?" wait timed out in thread 004c, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec) pops up on the console during the first run; I wonder if the thread in charge of activation is deadlocking.
A workaround noted in the appdb is $ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/*/"Application Data/Adobe/Photoshop/9.0/Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings" $ rm -rf Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS2\ Prefs.psp
This resets you to pre-first-run state so you can try again, which could be handy for git bisect, but it's not so great for end users.
