Error because .NET framework isn't turned on(?)

Post by BillyBob »

So, I've switched to Linux recently and I like making Doom wads every now and then. I tried to run a few programs through Wine, with limited success. The programs ran - yes - but they had several issues, but that's not something that's a concern here. I heard that there were a few solutions, however. One of which was updating the Microsoft .NET framework. So I installed winetricks, and ran "winetricks netdot461", or whatever. And it installed. The problem is that now I can't get programs to run. Now, the error I get whenever trying to boot up a Windows program through wine tells me that "You must enable the .NET framework from the Windows Feature Dialog Box." Now, google didn't help me with this issue. Most of the answers were just "Install Microsoft Net," which I've done. If anyone can tell me what the issue is - if it's not actually as obvious as it says - and how to solve the issue, it'd be greatly appreciated.

And yes, I did go into Wine's control panel. I searched it, and as far as I'm aware I seen nothing that was relevant. Maybe I missed something though.

The error your getting from the application would indicate a requirement of .Net 3.5.

As on Windows now .Net 3.5 is locked behind that option
