mono msi is not detected

I placed wine-mono-4.8.2.msi in /usr/share/wine/mono but wine still tries to download it. I had no problem for gecko.

Code: Select all

$ wine '/home/m/Downloads/Firefox Setup 66.0.3.exe'

Mono is looking for a particular version, and it does not have to be the latest one.

It is currently working for me with wine-mono-4.8.1.msi, but you could also try with wine-mono-4.8.3.msi

Please check the available downloads at https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono/

The wine-mono version you require is hard coded in whatever Wine version you are using...

E.g.:

• Wine (Staging) 4.0 4.1 4.2 ......... wine-mono 4.7.5
• Wine (Staging) 4.3 4.4 4.5 ......... wine-mono 4.8.0
• Wine (Staging) 4.6 .................... wine-mono 4.8.1
• Wine (Staging) master .............. wine-mono 4.8.3

You are at least putting the wine-mono package in the right system directory!
