Current status of dotnet11 usability ?

Post by Pavel Troller »

Hi!
I have serious troubles to install dotnet 11, which I need to run a special
application, which cannot be run with mono.
I've tried it using:
- Current wine (git from last weekend, but tried also with several slightly
older versions from 1.5 series
- Latest winetricks (just downloaded from the SVN tree, but also tried with
several slightly older versions available with wget)
- Absolutely fresh wineprefix, just created, with "No" response issued to
the Mono install request and "Yes" to the Gecko install request.
As the first command, "winetricks dotnet11" was issued in this fresh
environment.
The installation process started successfully, a license agreement window
appeared and was positively acknowledged, and then a lot of messages has been
written to the terminal, mostly with the text:
fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"System"
There were really thousands of these lines written.
Then, a small window appeared telling me that:
Failed to load resources from resource file
Please check your Setup
... with "Ok" as the only choice. After clicking on it, a crash appeared in
the migpolwin binary.
After acknowledging the crash, a window appeared stating that the product was
successfully installed, but it's not true, it's unusable.

What's wrong there ? In the AppDb, dotnet11 is mostly in the Gold status, but
with older wine versions.
With regards,
Pavel

I just tried winetricks dotnet11 in wine-1.5.5-262-g31907e0 and it seemed to install successfully. Whether it's usable, I don't know, as I don't have a .NET 1.1 app to test, but there were no "Failed to load resource file" messages and no crash.

I do have wine-mono installed, and did not uninstall it before running winetricks.

Modern versions of winetricks will uninstall wine-mono before
attempting to install .NET.

I figured it would. And I mentioned it because I'm wondering if the OR's problem could be caused by not installing wine-mono, and the uninstall by winetricks being somehow incomplete.

winetricks dotnet11 doesn't yet do

$WINE uninstaller --remove '{E45D8920-A758-4088-B6C6-31DBB276992E}'

as it should. You could try that before 'winetricks dotnet11'.

What app are you trying to install? (And what's a good .net 1.1 test app?)

But dotnet20 installation is currently broken, see
