Update recommended for Flatpak users. First-run testing of 0.5.0 found two bugs that stopped apps from starting.

  • Apps needing Microsoft's Visual C++ runtime now start. The Flatpak's space-saving links made Microsoft's redistributable fail, so Lightroom quit at once with "mfc140u.dll not found". Updating repairs your setup. Then install or update an app in Creative Cloud once, so it can run the redistributable again.
  • Blank licensing window fixed: the launcher now picks Adobe's licensing window that works here, at every start.
  • Photoshop's contextual task bar no longer floats above other apps and takes their clicks (patch 0104).

Install: the steps are in the README. On Arch-based systems:

curl -LO https://github.com/le-birnes/AdobeWine/releases/download/v0.5.2/adobewine-0.5.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U adobewine-0.5.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
adobewine setup

Known issues:

  • Adobe's "too many devices" page doesn't draw and shows a blank window. Sign out of a device at account.adobe.com, then start the app again.
  • Adobe's installer can stay on "Loading..." if the sign-in page sits for about 15 minutes. Close it, open AdobeWine again and sign in straight away.
