Wine Error: 0030:err:winsock:WSAIoctl -> SIO_ADDRESS_LIST_CHANGE

Question

I'm trying to install Flash CS 6 Pro (which is now called Adobe Animate) for Windows with Wine 4.0.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. I installed the latest version of Wine, updated all repositories and restarted Ubuntu.

This is the error I get after running wine setup.exe from the command line.

do@b:~/Desktop/Flash Pro CS6/Adobe Flash Professional CS6$ wine setup.exe

It should work on Ubuntu based on this post on winehq.org. How to fix this error?

Answer 1

As indicated by the post you linked to, Adobe Flash CS6 (12.0) has been tested to work well with Wine version 4.02 The latest (development version of wine is at the moment of writing this answer, 4.20) SO if you are truly using version 4.02 of wine it's been tested to work. I recommend that you issue the wine --version to confirm the version of wine that you are actually using matched the tested version of 4.02. Another possible gotcha here, is that you are using Adobe Animate which granted was a renaming of Flash CS 6, but to the best of my knowledge wasn't announced until 2015 While the version partially tested as working with wine (adding extensions was NOT tested) was released in 2012. It appears that counting major and minor revisions there have been at least 10 revisions since that tested version came out.

Also note that there are specific instructions for running Windows programs from the command line under wine. that don't appear to have been followed.

If you've confirmed that your version of wine AND your version of Adobe Animate match the versions tested, this problem might be related to utilizing the wrong wine prefix The numerous :fixme: errors indicate bugs in wine support for the version of Adobe Animate that you are attempting to run.

You might also be attempting to utilize the wrong wine prefix for your version of Adobe Animate.

If none of this information proves to be useful, your best bet will be to contact those more directly involved in the project. There's a wine help forum here.
