.net and vc redistributable don't install.

I was just trying to follow this guide: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=68473

So I just installed wine and winetricks and put in

winetricks winxp directx9 dotnet20 vcrun2005 vcrun2010

Like the guide says. However dotnet20 and vcrun2010 do not install. It says nothing, just "failed to install".

The instructions you followed were for a very old version of Wine. Try a clean wineprefix (no winetricks) using the latest development release.

Okay, so am I supposed to just download dotnet20 and vcrun2010 etc straight from microsoft.com then? Cause I read somewhere that I'm not supposed to do that but appparently use files optimized for wine instead.

No. What I mean is don't install any native dlls at all to start, as it is possible that some or all are no longer needed in current Wine. If testing shows that any are still needed, use winetricks to install them.

Also be sure to use a recent version of wine and winetricks.
If you still have trouble, please give the versions of wine and winetricks.
