Problem with mono and Gecko

Post by Warday »

Hello, I`m having a problem with mono and gecko. I install wine as it is describe in the main page and in the forum and it download, and install both element, unfortunately both element seems that are no working. I try to install both manually but the path /usr/share/wine doasent exist and I try to find the foldiers (/mono and /gecko) but they aren’t anywhere.
I try to create both folders using sudo nautilus but it doesn't work. Winetrix say that mono have not been installed.
Os Ubuntu 14.04 x64 wine 1.9.17 (winehq-devel)
Thenx for all!

Wine should automatically download Mono and Gecko the first time you run it. It caches the downloaded files in ~/.cache/wine. Check there for the gecko and mono .msi files.

Winetricks doesn't install wine-mono; it used to install Windows mono, but that verb was removed some time ago. So what winetricks says is irrelevant, and if your version still has a mono verb, it is outdated.

Winetricks doesn't ask to install mono when installing .NET. It checks to see if mono is installed and uninstalls it if it is because you can't have both wine-mono and native .NET in the same wineprefix. If mono isn't installed in the winefprefix, there's a console message that it's not installed, but the script proceeds to install .NET.

Hello
Linux mint 18.1 64bit - wine-2.0-rc4 (Staging)
Wine should automatically download Mono and Gecko the first time you run it. It caches the downloaded files in ~/.cache/wine. Check there for the gecko and mono .msi files.
on wine 1.9.xxx work, but in wine-2.0-rc4 (Staging) this folder ~/.cache/wine is always empty, It has been changed?
