[Bug 51606] New: Adobe Creative Cloud and apps like Photoshop CC need Internet Explorer 11
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51606
Bug ID: 51606 Summary: Adobe Creative Cloud and apps like Photoshop CC need Internet Explorer 11 Product: Wine Version: 6.6 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: msdobrescu@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 70459 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=70459 Popup appears in Photoshop at startup
Adobe software, mainly Creative Cloud related, like Photoshop CC, requires now Internet Explorer 11.
I could not manage to install Internet Explorer, regardless the package used.
I have Windows 10, up to date (21H1 right now) and I have installed Photoshop CC there and copied the files on my Linux for testing. This is because it is not possible to install Adobe Creative Cloud either, due to missing Internet Explorer 11.
After starting Photoshop, the attached popup appears, so no possibility to use Photoshop CC, which is known to work in Wine (seemingly the tested versions of Photoshop CC are cracked somehow to skip this step, but that is illegal and dangerous for being know to bring malware).
A IE11 installation or a workaround are necessary.

--- Comment #3 from Jeff Zaroyko jeffz@jeffz.name --- After updating the user agent string to ie11: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko" with a hack, it progresses past the "Update Required" to a new one:
Browser not supported To use the current website, please update your browser to the latest version or try a different browser.
That appears to be after loading this page: https://auth.services.adobe.com/en_US/index.html which contains that message in a hidden element and a bit of javascript to decide whether to display the element or not:
!function(){var e=document.getElementById("App"),t=document.getElementById("UnsupportedBrowser");!function(){try{var e=document.createElement("div");e.style.display="-webkit-flex",e.style.display="flex"}catch(e){return!1}return("flex"===e.style.display||"-webkit-flex"===e.style.display)&&"MutationObserver"in window}()?t.style.display="block":e.style.display="block"}()

--- Comment #4 from msdobrescu@gmail.com --- Hello, with the IE reaching end of life, after discussing with Adobe support, turns out that any browser is fine. So, basically, login should work with any of Firefox, Chrome or Edge and maybe others. I confirm this by testing under Windows 11 with them. This being said, any of them is fine, but neither work under Wine. IMO, interfacing with any of them or native version would do, but which one can be made work?

--- Comment #5 from msdobrescu@gmail.com --- Hi, I wonder if Grapejuice technique to bridge Roblox to the browser isn't a technical solution or, at least, if that could not inspire a solution to this.

Hi, I wonder if Grapejuice technique to bridge Roblox to the browser isn't a technical solution or, at least, if that could not inspire a solution to this.
Grapejuice installs desktop shortcuts to handle the various URI schemes that Roblox uses (like roblox-player and roblox-studio)
If Adobe software uses URI schemes to redirect the login information back to the program from a browser then you could make desktop shortcuts for the Adobe software to make login work I guess

--- Comment #7 from msdobrescu@gmail.com --- Well, I guess somebody must analyze the implementation, I guess it uses the browser integration in the Windows OS. There are many packages that use some hacked Adobe software and that is not right, but they prove Photoshop itself works fine under Wine. Those may come with malware, so it's not wise to use them, even with paid subscription. It is a major software, why is it not supported? Probably, the bridge that Windows browser is for Photoshop should be implemented somehow. I could help in testing, but I am not sure how to find out the functions to be implemented. Maybe if someone shows me the way.

--- Comment #8 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com --- Have you tried installing Firefox under Wine, before running the Adobe installer?
