wintricks dotnet20 install

Post by nadrach »

I am trying to install dotnet20 with winetricks. For previous requirements I have installed vbrun60, vcrun6, allfonts, divx, allcodecs, ogg, quicktime72 and msi2. Now with dotnet20, the windows installer gives me only repair and uninstall options, and if I try repair, it asks for MSI 3.0 installer (an offered install link does not work). Have I triggered an install of dotnet from one of the previous winetricks options? If so, which one (for future reference), and how do I check which version of dotnet is actually installed?

Fine ... that allowed dotnet2O to be installed, but it took the entire previous installation of wine away, including all other winetricks items, and also removed all other installed windows programs, which did not do much for my sons state of mind because it had taken him over an hour to get a trial of Cinema4D to work. Is there any other way of installing such bits of winetricks, besides destroying everything done before?

Also, now I find that when reinstalling the missing programs, although they are added to the drive_c, no entries install to the the wine program menu and I cannot get any windows icons on the desktop, when I create shortcuts. How do I fix this?

Use separate wineprefixes for each app. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-f2f5f3b ... 15657ad552

This question has come up before. Do a forum search for winemenubuilder.
