Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5

I tried to install Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 with wine on Debian Squeeze. My Wine version is 1.0.1-3.1. It installed Visual C++ 9.0 runtime, but failed to install Microsoft .NET framework, and so the installation failed.

Is the solution merely to upgrade my Wine to version 1.4 to install NaturallySpeaking11.5? l

Or is the goal to install this ".NET framework". What is it and how would I get it? Is it freely downloadable and installable with Wine?

In a message of long ago someone said the problem is that what is needed are dotnet35 and SP1 from the MS web site. What are these?

If nothing works, can I get a downgraded version of NaturallySpeaking, and if so, what version and how?

Per the Applications Database DNS 11.5 is rated Garbage because it
requires a fully functional .NET 3.5. .NET 3.5 is installable using
winetricks. http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks has more on this very
useful script.

Is the web page for this program in the Applications Database.

Please update the record if you are able to use DNS 11.5.

My Wine version is 1.0.1-3.1.

That version is over 3 years old; even with winetricks, .NET 3.5 will not install in that old version. Upgrade to the current development release.
