However, this time, ADE starts or tries to start up with following error: Installation routine sill complains about not having. On the way, I came across following nice error message from.

This time, I switched to 32 bit wine because this web page told me to: Purge again, restart on installing ADE 4.5 and its dependencies again. NET and its setup routine links me to a download which would take six Gigabytes to download which I cancelled. Well, I downloaded the installation exe for ADE 3.0 from Adobe and gave it another try.ĪDE 3.0 needs. No luck also this time: Error #2038 was waiting for me at the end of this road as well.ĭid I already mention my level of despair?

Okay, since ADE 4.5 does not result in a running installation, I purge my wine data for the hundredth of time and install ADE version 1.7. It is just bad German which does not make any sense. Winetricks error message with weird German I personally like this winetricks error message: dotnet40 install completed, but installed file /home/$USER/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v9/ngen.exe.dotnet40 does not yet fully work or install on wine.This package may not fully work on a 64-bit installation.Adobe Digital Editions 4.5 requires winbind (part of Samba) to be.If you encounter problems, please retest inĪ clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug. Note that many verbs only installģ2-bit versions of packages. Here is a list of error messages I got in the command line during the installation process of winetricks and ADE 4.5: So I fired winetricks as usual and saw ADE 1.7 and 4.5 as installation targets. With help of this page I could fix this and learned that winetricks is just a wrapper shell script, rather independent of wine itself. I chose the stable branch which came with wine version 2.0.2 and more options to choose from when you want to install ADE. So I purged my wine installation again and upgraded my wine setup according to this directions. Their wine-installation failed for various reasons or the installed ADE did not start at all.

I tried ADE 2.0, ADE 3.0, and ADE 4.5 with no luck. I already did fail multiple times trying to install a downloaded exe setup file of ADE. Unfortunately, my wine did not provide me any newer version via winetricks.

#ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS ERROR 2038 UPDATE#

The next approach was to update ADE to a newer version. The same old error #2038 which began to hunt me in my dreams. I then even purged my whole wine setup including its data, re-installed everything and it still showed me Error #2038. ADE still thinks that I've got a network issue. I even deleted and re-installed ADE 1.7.2. ADE is necessary to download the DRM-encrypted EPUB.Īll the mentioned tricks in corresponding threads on the Internet did not make it work. So the URL is useless as well, when ADE does not work any more.

#ADOBE DIGITAL EDITIONS ERROR 2038 ZIP FILE#

It's a ZIP file (as any EPUB) which lacks some files which are relevant to decrypt the DRM. Unfortunately, the downloaded EPUB is not working. Lucky me, the error message shows an existing URL I can download. So the error message is totally useless in the first place. Please check your network connection and try again. Therefore, some error messages I only have in German language. Note: Since the setup has to be used by my girlfriend as well, I had to use German language. ADE then (sometimes) recognized my Kobo ebook reader and transferred the books onto its storage.ĪDE error #2038 when trying to download an EPUB Don't even try to install a downloaded ADE exe setup file within wine.Īfter setting up my Adobe account, I was able to download an EPUB into ADE. The only way to make it run was for me using winetricks with 'install software' and choosing ADE version 1.7.2. You only rent it as long as the DRM owner allows you to. DRM is for protecting the property of companies. You have to use ADE since the ebooks are using Digital Rights Management (DRM) which prevents you from using the data as you would like to. I set up Adobe Digital Editions 1.7 (ADE) on my wine from Xubuntu 16.04. For a year, I had a nice setup to obtain ebooks in EPUB format from my local library.
