winetricks - Install Adobe Acrobat XI with wine

Adobe Acrobat XI has a silver rating on WineHQ, meaning it should work, right?


I right click acrobat.exe, and the installation wizard pops up and installs successfully with no errors. However, I tick the 'open application' box at the end of the installation and...nothing happens.


Adobe Acrobat isn't appearing in my list of installed apps. Basically it's not working at all, despite a very promising installation.


WineHQ has this to say on installing Acrobat XI:



What works


opening documents, OCR. No problems by now.
Acrobat asked me to install Adobe Application Manager
(http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773), so i
did installed and no problem since then.


What does not


Isn't able to install. As first review said, use
winetricks atmlib , and copy the acrobat folder into proper .wine
folder.



Wine beginner here. Could someone explain what he means by use winetricks atmlib , and copy the acrobat folder into proper .wine folder. Could someone guide me through those steps slowly? Thanks. Greatly appreciated, really want to get acrobat working :)
