Hello there! I am sorry for the simple question but long post, but I am new to Linux(Manjaro) I just switched less than a week ago, and the only real software that I actively use that doesn't have a Linux port is my computers software to access books called EduSystem. I thought it would work since its a simple program which is pretty much a powerpoint, but I am having issues. I believe I can't install the .Net Framework properly. I installed Wine and Winetricks from the Manjaro repo, and then installed Wine and Winetricks, I don't think thats the part I'm failing on. I see the C directory in .wine, and I can actually run the installer for Edusystem and it says its installed, but then when I try and launch the exe, I get this
[daniel@daniel-pc EduSystem Viewer 2.2.0.34]$ wine EduFileViewer.exe008b:fixme:mscoree:parse_supported_runtime sku=L".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" not implemented

So I thought I had to install .Net Framework, I ran this command yesterday:
env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet ~/winetricks dotnet462 corefonts
But it hanged, and now when I try and install it again I get this(I believe I already installed corefonts):
[daniel@daniel-pc ~]$ WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet ~/winetricks dotnet462
