From this it seems that there recommendation of the newest version to use is 1.9.9 (though 2.9.0.2 Beta2 is good also). Are there any thoughts about whether this is sound, and, if so, reverting to such an older version?

See this for installing with the latest beta version:

FYI, if you’re using WINE 5.0, Scrivener 2.9.0.x will crash, unless you’ve got speechsdk installed via winetricks. It’s likely this bug, and will need to be addressed with the WINE devs. bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43841 It worked with WINE 4.19-staging, but I’m not sure about anything later than that. (That is, I’m not really set up to do regression testing, which is what they’ll ask for.)

Scrivener/Scapple for Windows Activation under Wine

This post:[url]https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/wine-5-0-and-scrivener-2-9-0-x/48674/1] solved the issues without any additional messing. I’ve run through the process twice now so pretty confident. In summary, run winetricks speechsdk as last step in the install process…
