Fix Adobe AIR errors after installing Rosetta Stone in Wine

starkid · 10-04-2022, 10:33 PM

This solution was used with wine 7.0 and Rosetta Stone 5.0.37 - 43113.

If running Rosetta Stone in Wine gives an error about no application descriptor file, creating the file described below should eliminate that error.

If the error is about initial content that cannot be found, editing the file as described below should eliminate that error.

Copy the example application descriptor file. Copy all text from the large black box (not the small one at the bottom of the page) found here:

https://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/bui...de46-7ff1.html

Paste the text into a file. Find HelloWorld.swf and change it to LocalApp.swf. Name the file application.xml and save it in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Rosetta Stone/Rosetta Stone Language Training/META-INF/AIR

Just in case Adobe deletes the web page, here is the sample application descriptor file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/3.0"> 
    <id>example.HelloWorld</id> 
    <versionNumber>1.0.1</versionNumber> 
    <filename>Hello World</filename> 
    <name>Example Co. AIR Hello World</name> 
     <description> 
        <text xml:lang="en">This is an example.</text> 
        <text xml:lang="fr">C'est un exemple.</text> 
        <text xml:lang="es">Esto es un ejemplo.</text> 
    </description>

        <content> 
            HelloWorld.swf 
        </content> 
    </initialWindow>
