Prompted to install something??? the first time I used wine

Post by waxitman »

Hello. I've just done a clean install on my system with Sabayon 13.04 and wine 1.5.31. The first time I used wine I was prompted to install something (within wine - .NET or API manager or similar) and I didn't do it :? Now I think I need that something because my games are no longer working correctly, they were previously and I remember installing that something last time I started wine for the first time.

Can somebody please Tell me what this is and how I can place it neatly where it belongs?

If the prompt came from Wine on creation of the wineprefix it would have been for wine-gecko or wine-mono. Your distro should package both, but if it doesn't, follow the instructions in the wiki for installing them manually.

Awesome. I'm pretty sure it was mono. Installed this with winetricks and found many more useful things there. IL2 may be meeting my Linux desktop soon :D

Didn't fix my problem though. I'll keep looking and thank you for your quick help
