Description Morgan Leijström 2014-01-09 03:04:25 CET

I see from log that wine say i should use windows mono for .NET applications.
But i do have mageia package wine-mono installed.

I see wine-mono contain â/usr/share/wine/mono/wine-mono-0.0.8.msi but probably it need be installed in wine.
wine refuse to run that .msi saying it is not an exe.

Well I am not a wine expert, but on http://wiki.winehq.org/Mono i read:


As of 1.3.7, Wine will search for a Windows install of Mono in the following locations:

    c:\windows\mono\mono-1.0 or mono-2.0

    If Wine is installed, <prefix>/share/wine/mono/mono-1.0 or mono-2.0, where <prefix> is usually /usr or /usr/local.
    If Wine is run from a build tree, wine/../mono/mono-1.0 or mono-2.0
    The path specified in the registry, if Mono was installed via the official Windows installer. 

The Wine Mono package installs its files in c:\windows\mono\mono-2.0. In modern Wine (>= 1.5.6), without Wine Mono installed it will appear to Windows applications that .NET is not installed, so the only real option is to use that package.

What is your actual problem, and how did you create your wineprefix, what is the command you run to install dotnet and which version? Installing .NET 4.0 works fine here (among other versions)

$ winetricks dlls dotnet40
Executing w_do_call dotnet40
dotnet40 already installed, skipping

Thanks for looking into it.
Sorry i do not remember details anymore...
Think i used q4wine (from mageia repo) but do not remember if i tried commmand line directly.
Uninstalled all wine since, and only use two old laptops running XP/W7 natively for windows programs nowadays...

Marking as worksforme as it works for you ;)
