Wine reinstalling mono

[jpulman]

As a bit of background, I was trying to get an application to work and one of the forums suggested installing .NET 4.0 through winetricks so I ran the command below.

Code: Select all

winetricks dotnet40

This installed .NET 4.0 just fine but didn't end up solving my problem. Oh well.

Now that I have .NET 4.0 and have no use for it, I want to get rid of it. This is primarily because Steam has trouble running on anything but the native mono installation. When trying to run certain steam apps I get this error:

DXSetup.exe - .NET Framework Initialization Error
Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application.

I believe this will be resolved if I can manage to reinstall the original mono as packaged with wine.

• I have tried:
• winetricks forcemono - did nothing
• Uninstalling .NET 4 (via wine uninstaller) - broke wine
• Downloading wine-mono.msi from sourceforge and installing - did nothing

  Code: Select all

  wine msiexec /i wine-mono.msi
    fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented.

  So now we come to the question... does anyone know how to reinstall the original mono for wine?

You can't fix that wineprefix. Reinstall Steam to a clean one. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#wineprefix
