           Summary: Photoshop CS2 doesn't ask to activate, fails on 2nd run
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.53.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, regression
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dank at kegel.com


Sometime in the last month, Wine stopped being
able to run the Photoshop CS2 tryout properly.
It no longer tries to activate, and on the second
run, it says it cannot continue due to a hardware failure.

The error
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x1502750 "?" wait timed out in
thread 004c, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)
pops up on the console during the first run; I wonder if the
thread in charge of activation is deadlocking.

A workaround noted in the appdb is
$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/*/"Application
Data/Adobe/Photoshop/9.0/Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings"
$ rm -rf Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS2\ Prefs.psp 

This resets you to pre-first-run state so you can try again,
which could be handy for git bisect, but it's not so great
for end users.
