HELP. Can't get ANY version of DotNet to install.

[Mugsy323]

I'm using Winetricks with a 64-bit default prefix.

I've tried every version of "dotnet" listed in Winetricks but I simply can not get any of them to install. I even tried installing DotNet4.8 downloaded directly from MS, but the app gives an error saying "Wrong OS".

I *know* it worked once before, and don't remember having this much trouble.

Any ideas? Thx.

[barhamd]

Is that running on x86 or ARM with box86?
It sounds very similar to the issues I've asked about trying to get .NET 3.5 SP1 installed on Pi ,no answers yet

Make sure you have a WoW64 enabled Wine build and 32-Bits dependencies

[Mugsy323]

Thx for the reply. Where do I "enable" WoW64?

[JoseskVolpe]

That's the way Wine has been compiled, but that also depends on the operating system, MacOS for example doesn't support WoW64 yet because it lacks 32-Bits support. ¿What's your operating system?

[Mugsy323]

I'm using Ubuntu Linux 20.04.

[JoseskVolpe]

Check if you have wine32 installed alongside wine64, also, make sure you enabled i386

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

(Sorry for the late reply.)

Thanks for the follow-up.

I followed the instructions at the wiki link and installed the latest "stable" branch for Ubu 20.04 LTS, but it didn't help. Attempting to install DotNet under the default (64bit) prefix fails. I forgot to mention previously that I was already able to install it under a 32bit Prefix, but that doesn't help me. I believe that means I already had "wine32" installed alongside wine64?

Any ideas on what else I should try? Thx.

[JoseskVolpe]

Well :S
¿What's the output when you use winetricks?

[Mugsy323]

The Win installer runs, but fails almost immediately saying "Wrong OS."

[JoseskVolpe]

Try going to winecfg and set Windows version to Windows 10, winetricks will change it if it's needed

[Mugsy323]

Thx for the reply.

I need to correct myself. I thought the error was "Wrong OS", but I might have been thinking of something else. OS mode is set to Win10 (also tried Win7 & WinXP.)

When I try to install dotnet48 under the default (64bit) Wine prefix, I get a litany of Winetricks warning messages and the version of dotnet that it tries to install drops to 4.0. This is about as far as I get:



Followed by:




So then I also tried installing dotnet35sp1:



Nothing works. Any ideas? Thx.

FOLLOW-UP: I noticed the last warning mentions "Wine-7.0", so I reinstalled Wine v5.0 and now get this (app never launches. Dozens of warnings ending with:


(I never "canceled" anything much less even saw a button giving me the option.)

[JoseskVolpe]

Well, damn :/
¿What does it says in the log file?

and yeah, you'll not be able to install dotnet35 due that (also, don't downgrade Wine), but newer versions would be enough for any application that's broken on Wine Mono

[jkfloris]

Is it possible to install .Net if you use winetricks "quiet" mode?

Code: Select all

# Make sure winetricks is up to date
sudo winetricks --self-update

# Install .Net in a clean test prefix
WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/dotnet-test winetricks -q dotnet40

[Mugsy323]

Well, damn :/
¿What does it says in the log file?

When I was still able to get as far as the Windows launcher, the log file provided nothing helpful. It says everything is just fine until it suddenly ends for no apparent reason (according to the log.)

Now I can't even get that far, (since rolling Wine back to v5.0) with that "user canceled" popup.

[Mugsy323]

Is it possible to install .Net if you use winetricks "quiet" mode?

Code: Select all

# Install .Net in a clean test prefix
WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/dotnet-test winetricks -q dotnet40

Thx for the reply. Installing from the terminal produces about 100 errors like this one:

Code: Select all

0055:err:ole:CoReleaseMarshalData StdMarshal ReleaseMarshalData failed with error 0x8001011d

I can't confirm if it worked, though it seems doubtful.

What is most annoying is I can install dotnet48 under a 32bit Wine prefix, but that's it. Everything else I need (like DirectX, DxVk, etc) all successfully installed under my 64bit prefix (but won't install under a 32bit prefix. I tried.

I know dotnet48 worked once before (under a 64bit prefix.) I don't know why I can't install it now.

[jkfloris]

I also get those error messages when .Net 4.0 is installed and I think they are "normal".

but won't install under a 32bit prefix. I tried.

Can you post a terminal output?

[Mugsy323]

Can you post a terminal output?

Thx for the reply.

I deleted the old "dotnet-test" folder and re-ran the command, directing the output to a file.

Let me know if anything pops out at you. Thx.

ADDENDUM: Looking at the file, the output is very different this time. The install went quicker and is not flooded with a hundred "error" lines. Here is the same output, copied directly from the terminal using the mouse. This shows all the errors.

[jkfloris]

The log files look normal.

What program are you trying to run? What does not work?

[Mugsy323]

The second log is full of errors and in the end, dotnet fails to install. That's not normal.

As for the app: Anything that requires dotnet (I'm a programmer and need it when writing my own apps.)

[jkfloris]

For comparison, I am posting the output I get when installing dotnet40. In my opinion, they are the same.

You can check if the installation was successful with:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/dotnet-test wine uninstaller --list

[Mugsy323]

(sorry for the last reply. Family stuff.)

Here is the result of issuing the above command:

Code: Select all

Either the test could not be completed, or dotnet didn't install. (Contents of my "dotnet-test" folder):

Code: Select all

Any ideas? Thx.

[jkfloris]

It looks like you removed the "dotnet-test" folder.
Wine has created it again for you with a clean wine prefix.

Would you like to try the following steps? Preferably with Wine 7.0
(It is not a problem if you have removed the dotnet-test folder in the meantime)

Code: Select all

# Install the .Net 4.0 Framework in the dotnet-test prefix
WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/dotnet-test winetricks -q dotnet40

# Check if the installation was successful
WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/dotnet-test wine uninstaller --list

# Run your .Net program
WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/dotnet-test wine program.exe

The screenshot is of your default wine prefix. It does not appear to have a .Net Framework installed on it.

[Mugsy323]

(Thx for the reply. Sorry for the slow response but Dad is in the hospital.)

I had deleted "dotnet-test" after it failed the first time. Sorry.

The check seems to confirm DotNet 4.0 was installed to the "dotnet-test" wineprefix, but that doesn't help me since I already have DirectX, DxVk, and numerous VB libraries installed under my default ".wine" prefix, so I can't start using a different prefix. My apps won't run w/o all those other libraries (crash.)

I tried issuing the same commands to install dotnet40 to my default prefix, but the installer says "DotNet is already installed" (Winetricks still says otherwise, same as above screenshot.)

I tried installing "dotnet48" to my ".wine" prefix using the terminal command, but at the end of the install, I get:

Code: Select all

warning: dotnet40 install completed, but installed file /home/mugsy/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/ngen.exe not found

So still no DotNet. Any ideas? Thx.

[jkfloris]

If you use winetricks to install the .Net 4.8 Framework, then .Net 4.0 is installed first.
You can try to force a reinstall of .Net in the deafult wine prefix with the --force option.

Code: Select all

winetricks --force -q dotnet48
# or install .Net 4.0 first
winetricks --force -q dotnet40
winetrcks -q dotnet48
