Wine registry redirection trouble

[QuicksilverHG]

Hello! I'm new here, so I thought I'd start with that. With that out of the way, I've been trying to install LOTRO on my machine, running Ubuntu 12.04 and Wine 1.4. I had a few problems with DLLs (Namely, a few missing ones that I replaced, including mscorees), but I've now come up against the following problem:

"Please set registry key HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETFramework/InstallRoot to point to the .NET Framework install location"

I'm completely stumped on where to go from there, as there doesn't even seem to be an HKLM directory among my wine folders, nor is there a file called InstallRoot. What should I be directing to where, and how? Is it system.reg, or something within regedit, which also doesn't show anything resembling HKLM or InstallRoot? Any help would be much appreciated. If there's any further information required to help solve this issue, just say what it is and I'll do my best to provide it.

something within regedit, which also doesn't show anything resembling HKLM

HKLM is an abbreviation of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, which you should see in regedit.

Ah, thank you! There is indeed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Indeed, following that, the error message's suggestion, all the way down to InstallRoot, which still doesn't exist, does (meaning HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/.NETFramework does).

My first assumption with the information given was that it wants a new key created under .NETFramework, given the name InstallRoot, and directed to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework (Or Framework/1.1.4322, which is the framework version). However, neither of these appears to have worked, either this way or with backslashes (which I gather is the Windows way of doing things). Any idea what the machine wants done?

Thanks in advance!

Please update to wine-1.5.6, then try this recipe:
rm -rf ~/.wine
rm -f winetricks
wget http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/tr ... winetricks
sh winetricks dotnet11 dotnet20 gdiplus vcrun2008
export GC_DONT_GC=1
Then try installing the app. This recipe is from
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=23486
and might not be complete.

Again, thanks. It did work; however, it got only as far as the "examine game data" step, where it now hangs, with the following messages:

The break in the middle is added later, due to that being approximately the point at which that step begins, and again, these messages aren't especially sensible to me, so any help is appreciated.

This aspect of this is no longer a problem. I seem to have messed up other things in the process, but... well, hopefully I'll manage to get that worked out.
