What does not

An error message frequently pop-up, but it can be ignored without prejudicing the application

Workarounds

1. Extract the installation program in a program, using a normal archive extraction utility like Ark

2. Create a clean wine 32-bit prefix

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot

3. Switch to Windows 10

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

and from the dialog that pop-ups, select Windows 10 and then ok

4. Install libraries

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 winetricks atmlib riched20 mspatcha wsh57

5. Download Windows 7 fonts from here and copy them in $HOME/.local/share/fonts

6. Install Adobe by going in the extracted folder and run

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine Setup.exe

7. When you start Adobe Acrobat, an error message popups, and if you close it it will pop-up again, but it can be ignored
