How to install dotnetfx in Wine

[minhnt]

Why would you want .Net? What exactly are you trying to do?

Wine is primarily for applications, not for libraries such as the .Net libraries.

You can install .Net using Winetricks. Though, some of the features will still not be available. But some of your apps will start working.
To install .NET Framework 2.0, do the following:


wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks

sh winetricks corefonts dotnet20

You need cabextract utility (project website here (http://www.cabextract.org.uk/)) for winetricks corefonts step.
Make sure it's installed locally.


sudo apt-get install cabextract

Now, try to start your app. If you're lucky, you'll get it to work!
