[Bug 15721] New: Adobe Digital Editions doesn't install

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15721

Summary: Adobe Digital Editions doesn't install
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.6
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, Installer
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Digital Editions has to be installed by clicking 'OK' twice
in a flash dialog (!).  I tried installing it by doing
  sh winetricks gecko flash
  wine iexplore http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/
It acts like it's making progress, but it never accesses the
network... ?  Don't know if it has to or not.

I haven't tried installing it in windows firefox on wine yet, either.

Oddly, people say this works; 
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=13053
marks it platinum, but says something strange about how to install it
which I don't understand.

Indeed winetricks method doesn't work. However, I've got a different result:
download goes fine but ends with "A download error occurred. Try to download
again?" and then I can't find that file anywhere.

Where people say it works, it means they've installed it on Windows and copied
digitaleditions1x5.exe from... just take a look where the shortcut points. It's
that easy. Directory doesn't play a role.

That's the same error I got with winetricks.  Good to see we're on the same
page.

Thanks for the filename.  With it, I found where to grab the .exe that the
installer is supposed to grab:

Haven't had time to test with it yet, though.  And this bug is about the
install process, anyway.

Still present. For me in 1.2-rc5, the page won't load in wine's iexplore. In
windows firefox + wine + flash, the page hangs.

This bug has not been updated for two years and OP by four. Is this still an
issue i current (1.5.4) or newer wine ? You may also close this as abandoned if
you feel that that this is issue is no longer relevant to you.

run the installer on your machine to install Adobe Digital Editions.

Teras, this bug is about running

$ sh winetricks gecko flash
$ wine iexplore http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/

and trying to get installation of v1.5 from there.  Since the page was
redesigned (probably several times) over time, the bug (IMHO) should stay as
ABANDONED, not FIXED.

PS: it's offtopic, but I found the file the installer was failing to launch:

Hello folks,

as Saulius already told in comment #8 it was Adobe Digital Editions 1.5 at the
date (2008) of the bug report. The archive.org snapshot from Oct 2008 tells
this as well:

Sadly there is no snapshot of ADE 1.5:

@Teras comment #5

ADE 4.0 was released several years later in 2015 and based on different
technologies/frameworks.

Adobe changed the distribution / download concept later to not use that brain
damage called Flash which was the problem the bug report was originally opened
for. Resolution 'ABANDONED' would have been correct. Props to Saulius.
