Yes, there are problems. Do the comments at https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=27978 help? Especially about installing .NET 3.5 SP1? Thanks for following this up!

Among other things, ADE 2.0.1 is a prerequisite for a popular tool for removing DRM from ebooks.

I needed to install it recently, and this is what I used:

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/adobe_diged2 winetricks -q dotnet35sp1
WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/adobe_diged2 winetricks -q windowscodecs
WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/adobe_diged2 winetricks -q corefonts
wget http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/digitaleditions/ADE_2.0_Installer.exe
WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/adobe_diged2 wine ADE_2.0_Installer.exe

$ wine --version
wine-5.0 (Ubuntu 5.0-3ubuntu1)

Looks like there was a regression. I opened https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52815 for that (still in current wine, 7.6).
