Right-click menu of .NET app not working

Post by IdoSC »

Hello,

I'm trying to use a software called "ShowMiiWads". This is a .NET-based application, and I have Mono 2.10 installed using Winetricks under my Wine (1.5.19) on my Ubuntu 12.10.

The program loads perfectly well, except there's a certain list of items,
as seen here, where I need to access a desired function by right-clicking one of the items, then select one of the options from the right-click menu that would supposedly pop up. The trouble is, the menu doesn't pop up.
I also tried to load the software using the version of Mono framework installed on my Ubuntu just to see if the right-click menu would pop up that way, using:

Code: Select all

$ mono filelocation/ShowMiiWads.exe
And when I tried to right-click an item the menu actually popped up, though the app (almost obviously) crashed at some point when I tried to use it that way so that solution is not quite doable. It worked well as a test I guess.

So anyways, is there anything I could do to fix that issue?

You should be using wine-mono. If it doesn't work with wine-mono, file a bug.

I'm trying to get the Wine-mono installation from here, but when I try to open the file and install it using Wine the terminal outputs "wine: Bad EXE format for I:\Downloads\wine-mono-0.0.8.msi."

What am I supposed to do about that?

("$ winetricks mono210" returns "mono210 already installed", but as I said before I already had that one installed when I wrote the OP).

Why don't you just install the Ubuntu wine-mono package?

FYI, use msiexec /i to install .msi files.

You should also delete the wineprefix where you have mono210 installed.
