Program Requires .net 4.5 Can it work?

Post by dan »

I have a program that requires .net 4.5 and I'd like to run it. But right now .net 4.5 is rated as garbage. The program is called Logos 5 and is rated as garbage because it required .net 4.5. How do I know if it's possible to get it working with Mono? I don't want to waist my time learning how to debug the program if .net 4.5 dependent programs don't work on with Wine. Can I get some advise? Thanks.

An app that really requires .NET 4.5 features probably won't work with wine-mono, but the only way to find out for sure is to try it.

Is it possible to debug .net 4.5 so it will run better on wine. Or is it pretty much what you get is what you get?

You can certainly file bugs for specific things that don't work, if none have been filed. But if you're asking whether you're likely to find an easy workaround for those bugs, probably not.

You are not the only one that would like to have Logos 5 working. I have filed a bug report on wine bugzilla (bug 32742). Who knows how long it might take for someone to fix that bug. Even after this bug has been taken care of, who knows how many more bugs prevent Logos 5 from running. It probably won't be anytime soon, but every bug taken care of gets us one step closer to that day.

As far as it requiring dotnet 4.5, that may or may not be the case. Mono is a moving targets so it may may have or soon have what is needed. But even if Mono provides everything, at this point wine does not.
