Forgive the opportunistic hijack, but has anyone had success getting the Electron version of Adobe Lightroom (CC) to work under wine? I DLL-hell'd it until I hit an ntdll unimplemented error which I figured is as far as I can go without becoming a wine developer.

can anyone tell me how to get the following setup file installed via wine?

https://busy.in/BusyWebsiteFiles/setup.rar

All the wine versions i've tried throws a "error" windows installer error.

lists a bunch of commands.

This would be so much helpful for accounting professionals as this is one of the main proprietary accounting softwares running in india and it apparently requires windows. :-(

https://busy.in/download

the download page incase you find it weird that they would package their installer in a rar file

Have you tried wine-staging? Which is the wine but with all the future patches.

Other alternatives are lutris, proton, or the GE (glorious eggroll) versions.

Honestly vanilla wine sucks for compatibility now. All the other versions have way better support in my experience.

How does this current Wine version compare with the latest Parallels?

What's the typical app that you run on Wine and makes you happier than if you were using Parallels? Any? Games?

Adobe Audition works perfectly (Cool Edit)

I think the comparison is more about memory overhead, startup time, open ecosystem, platform flexibility. Not being chained to Microsoft decisions when it comes to gaming down the road potentially.

I also get annoyed with keeping 10's of GB of vm's around. Although wineprefixes balloon in size pretty quick too.

Then there is backwards compatibility. Wine can provide more flexibility to support older OS's on the same code base.
