.application extension

Post by GoldenApple »

I've been trying to install a program via .application file, but Wine seems to be unable to run .application file.
are there any winetricks or something that can let me run .application?

Install whatever version of .NET the program requires and then run the .application file with wine start.

tried installing .net framework 4.0 but it says Wine does not fully support it, mono is not installed, and the installer gives me error - HRESULT 0X8007064f

That's normal.

Make sure you have the latest versions of Wine and winetricks, and are using a 32 bit wineprefix.

I'm using most recent Wineprefix and Wine versions with Windows system as Windows XP SP3, yet I still get the error. I tried purging all wine-related data from system and re-installing wine and wineprefix as a whole, but I get the same thing. Wierd thing is that the .net 4.0 installer shows me that I'll be downloading 0MB off data for installation before I try installing and get the error

Delete the wineprefix and start over; once a .NET install has failed, that wineprefix is no longer clean. Make sure the new wineprefix is 32 bit; .NET will not install to a 64 bit wineprefix.

Exactly what Wine version are you using? People often think they have the latest when they don't. The current development release is 1.7.42. And if you are using winetricks from a distro package, you definitely don't have the latest winetricks; you need to download that from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winet ... winetricks.

However, it is possible that your program simply doesn't work in Wine.
