Adobe Flash Player

What works

Netscape Plugin works fine from website in Firefox (2.0.0.11 tested), did a quick test with YouTube and videos played fine. You can download the installer normally and it installs without issues or special configuration.

Installation instructions for Adobe Flash Player ActiveX control:

1. Install the Flash ActiveX control on a real copy of Windows first. You can do this by visiting http://tinyurl.com/32kxn9 in Internet Explorer.

   
   

   You MUST use Internet Explorer to visit the site. Visiting in another browser will direct you to the Netscape plugin. You cannot download the plugin standalone.

2. Copy c:/windows/system32/macromed/flash/ from your real Windows installation to your WINE one, using the same paths.

3. In that folder on your WINE installation, run:

   
   

   $ regsvr32 Flash9e.ocx

   
   

   The text Successfully registered DLL Flash9e.ocx should appear after (possibly) some debugging output.

   
   

   At present, you cannot use the FlashUtil9e.exe program to install or update Flash Player, as checksum verification will fail because CryptVerifyMessageSignature is not implemented in WINE (0.9.55):

   
   

   fixme:crypt:CryptVerifyMessageSignature stub: 0x33f854, 0, 0x440020, 1524754, (nil), 0x33f880, (nil)

What does not

• Minor graphical glitches, due to graphics acceleration tricks implemented by Adobe.  This does not effect video content.
  
• Automatic updater for the ActiveX version does not work.

Workarounds
