You will have to start running ADE 2.0.1 instead. After a couple weeks of trying and tweaking all conceivable settings with Winetricks, I've concluded that Wine will not play well with 2.0.1, so I have actually had to install Windows 7 in a virtual box (virt-manager) to be able to run ADE 2.0.1.

You'll be able to check out books again this way, it will just cost you a minimum of 20GB of HDD space.
Ubuntu 16.10 amd64 here. It was a pain, but 2.0.1 works under wine.

I used winehq ppa: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

I erased all wine components from my home folder:
Code:
rm -rf $HOME/.wine
rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/*wine*
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/*wine*
rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/*wine*
My old wine prefix was 64 bit and any attempt to install dotnet to a prefix other than default failed me. Then I did what is not suggested, created a default ~/.wine prefix as win32:
Code:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine WINEARCH=win32 wineboot
Then follow to the letter Anastasius Focht's post here:
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManag...sion&iId=27978

doing:
Code:
winetricks -q dotnet35sp1
winetricks -q windowscodecs
winetricks -q corefonts
Got a deadlock situation during dotnet35 installation, removed everything and started again. But it eventually succedeed. Installation of latest ADE 2.0.1 from Adobe's download page mentioned in this thread then worked.
