Wine says to isntall mono even though I have it installed?

Post by 21harrisont »

When I tried to open an app it told me to install Mono. I already installed Mono from the official website!

And what official website would that be? If it was the Mono website, then that's your problem What you need is wine-mono, not native Mono. If you installed wine-mono from here and are still getting that message, the most likely reason is that you installed the wrong version for the version of Wine you're using. https://wiki.winehq.org/Mono

Well how do I know which version is the "right" version? Very unhelpful!

The current version of wine-mono is 4.7.0.

I think that it's confusing that winecfg says that Wine is not installed, when it should say that wine-mono is not installed. I think that message (and similar messages referring to wine-mono in any other Wine components) should make this clear.
