Need help with Nexus Mod Manager

Post by WIneGamer123 »

Hello,
sorry for the almost repeated question but this time I learned a little more about wine and I also switched distro's to Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon 64 bit edition because it has more support. Anyways, the question I have is related to the application that wine has here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=28763 (Nexus Mod Manager). I went all the way to the bottom of the page and found a link to the full instructions which led me here: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/ ... r-on-wine/ . I made it to the part where it said:
# .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... px?id=1639)
I tried the command but go this error:
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\NetFx20SP2_x86.exe"
so I then downloaded the framework from the link given and placed it into /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 but I got the same error as before. Why is this?

.NET has to be installed, it can't simply be copied to the wineprefix. The easiest way to install it is with winetricks.

I searched the winetricks gui for NetFx20SP2 but didn't find any results. Is there any way to add it manually?

It's in winetricks. It's listed as dotnet20sp2.

Oh I didn't know that sorry. It says that it won't work a 64 bit wineprefix. Is there a way to make mine 32 bit?

You can't change the architecture of an existing wineprefix, but you can create a new 32 bit one. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#32_bit_wineprefix

I did this and I tried installing but it said mono was not found or not installed and when I proceeded to the installer I couldn't check the "I agree" box. This meant that I couldn't move on so I closed it but I dont think that it is fully installed.

It also says during the install "Working around wine bug 30845 -- Using native fusion while installing..."

Bug 30845 was fixed 18 months ago. You must be using old versions of Wine and winetricks. Upgrade both.

I updated winetricks and I got to check the box and then click agree but when I continued the installation failed.

Was that a clean wineprefix? It needs to be--any previous failed install of dotnet will mess it up for future attempts.

What version of Wine are you using?
