Wine 1.7.16 64-bit and .NET 4 installation

Post by dimaver »

Hello.

As far as I understood, .NET installation is not supported in 64-bit Wine.

Does it mean that in 64-bit wine it's impossible to run any application which requires .NET? Or there's some workaround that can be applied?

Thanks.

Regards,

Dima.

It's impossible to run any 64 bit app that requires real .NET (i.e., doesn't work with wine-mono). For 32 bit apps, just use a 32 bit wineprefix. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#32_bit_wineprefix

dimaver WINEARCH=win32 when a wine prefix is created on a 64 bit system results in wine using the 32 bit part of itself only. So allowing 32 bit .net to be installed. Other option is the mono .net runtime.
