Why Does Wine Want Mono If I Have DotNet?

[johnywhy]

Hello

Why does Wine ask me to install Mono on double-clicking an .msi file, if i already installed dotnet using winetricks?

Using Wine on a minimized Slackware distro (Puppy Slacko).

thx!

What version of .NET did you install with winetricks, and are you sure you installed it to the same wineprefix you're trying to install the msi file to?

i installed .net 4
winetricks already has a checkmark next to .net2.0, therefore i did not/could not try to install it. But how could .net2.0 be installed on wine?

using wine 1.7.9

i did not specify any wineprefix-- everything installed to default locations. i never created any wineprefixes-- therefor, everything should install to the same instance, right? i cannot find any folders on my disk called "wineprefixes", therefore non exist, right?

thx!

According to viewtopic.php?f=8&t=24571, you installed it through winetricks.

using wine 1.7.9

Upgrade. That version is over a year old and no longer supported.
