ENCORE does not contain Ableton Live, plug-ins, user projects, or authorization data. Supply the complete Live 12 Suite application folder from an installed Windows copy, normally C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 12 Suite, or the same complete folder extracted another way from your licensed copy. The downloaded Ableton installer, a lone EXE, and the inner Program folder are not valid inputs.
ENCORE is experimental and is not affiliated with Ableton or Wine. Back up important Live Sets and prefixes, and please report bugs with your distribution, desktop session, GPU, reproduction steps, and the relevant ENCORE log.
