That may well be the case, yeah. I only tried to run winetricks vcrun2022 while still on wine 6 which just complained about invalid arguments so I didn't even think to try again after updating wine.
Either way just getting the dll file online was evidently enough.
However I have noticed some rather odd behavior.
While Photoshop 2024 now launches and, as far as I can tell, runs as it should... it doesn't close as it should.
I was playing around wanting to switch between 2024 and CS6 (the latter of which btw seamlessly integrates in my system and can launch .psd files while 2024 merely starts and complains) when I suddenly could not launch either version anymore.
Come to find out, 2024 simply did not actually shut down, meaning it didn't see a reason to start when told to. Similarly preventing CS6 from starting too.
When I launch 2024 Main Thread , Adobe Crash Pro and wine processes launch. (sometimes wine does not appear and Main Thread is just called Photoshop.exe but otherwise the behavior is identical)
When closing 2024 by any means other than killing the process directly, the window disappears but none of the mentioned processes do. Main Thread does reduce CPU usage to 0.06 though.
Interestingly also, killing wine or Main Thread also kills the other while Adobe Crash Pro just doesn't care. While I don't see a significance here, it's interesting to note.
On the other hand CS6 just launches one Photoshop.exe process and dies just as it should when closed.
While having to kill at least two processes by hand isn't a major issue as long as the software runs fine, it could be something to note for others who might end up wondering why they could only start photoshop once and don't think to check for processes.
Me being not very well versed in the way linux and wine operate at this point (I've been running Mint for about a year now), I'm also not certain if this is a configuration issue or just a result of us doing something that is not meant to be done.
