Running civ 5 sdk with wine and wine-mono - crash on start

[Blocks119]

Hi , I've been using civ 5 for a while now and while civ 5 works fine for me without wine there is a sepparate application that is used to edit maps for it that is only available on windows, I tried to run it on wine and found it needed a .net framework and windows SP1 (an update thing for windows 7) , I have installed Mono within wine to act as the .net framework i need and it installed fine (downloaded the wine mono installer) , i tried to run it to see what errors i got : upon running the sdk with wine (32 bit or otherwise) it loads the startup menu fine however it can't open the worldbuilder or other applications linked to from the startup menu , for 2 it just closes and for the other 4 including the one i want to use (WorldBuilder) it just vaguely tells me 'An error occurred while attempting to launch application.'

i then tried to run the WorldBuilder application directly with this command :

wine32 /home3/home/Samuel/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/"Sid Meier's Civilization V SDK"/WorldBuilder/x86/WorldBuilder.exe

i get this error :

005d:err:module:fixup_imports_ilonly mscoree.dll not found, IL-only binary L"WorldBuilder.exe" cannot be loaded
005d:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Importing dlls for L"Z:\\home3\\home\\Samuel\\.local\\share\\Steam\\SteamApps\\common\\Sid Meier's Civilization V SDK\\WorldBuilder\\x86\\WorldBuilder.exe" failed, status c0000135

I've puzzled over it for a while , its clear to me that it simply cant load the exe however beyond that i'm not a wine wizard (that should be a book) and i would appreciate any help, hopefully we can find a way to get it working

thank you in advance and im sorry if its a glaringly obvious solution or i did something wrong in setup

just ask if you want any information about my wine setup ...

Update : I beleive the error is because i dont have the .net framework installed in the wine environment, i thought that mono would cover this but either it doesnt recognise it or mono doesnt include the framework , anyways i have tried installing the dotnet40 framework with winetricks and it seems to have worked so far however at the final stage of install i get a poppup asking for me to agree to windows supplemental licence terms :

the thing is on all the wine forum pages... ive looked at it says its free to use and just to install it as i have , however these terms say 'If you are licensed to use Microsoft Windows operating system software'

am i reading something wrong? or downloading the wrong version? bacically is there any way to install it legally or to get it to recognise the wine mono version?

Since most PCs come with Windows preinstalled, most people are licensed to use Windows. If you aren't, then according to the EULA you shouldn't install the redistributable.

fair enough , unfortunate the licence is more expensive than a computer though :/

ok i think i figured out the difference

there are multiple variants of the .net framework , the .net core is source available without windows and its even on the microsoft website for how to get it up on linux however the .net SP1 is not available freely and requires a microsoft licence , thankfully there are all the nessacarry parts of sp1 built into wine as is so i should be able to get it working if i install the .net core in the wine environment

thanks
