Using Wine and X11 Forwarding

[shawly]

Hi guys,

I am running OpenMediaVault in a virtual machine on my ESXi server, the current version of OMV is based on Debian Wheezy.
Now I tried out X11 Forwarding which works, so I wanted to use Wine to run DomDomSofts Manga and Anime Downloader which both need .NETFramework 3.5.

I saw it .NET 3.5 works with Wine here: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=10166
Also the Manga Downloader works: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... ngId=87000

So I installed Wine to install .NET 3.5 but I have no idea how wine even works. In an X11 Forwarded SSH session I tested xeyes to make sure it works and then I installed Wine and tried to start the dotnetfx35.exe installer, but nothing happens when I type in wine dotnetfx35.exe...
I never used Wine before so I have no idea how I can manage it to work.

Can someone enlighten me?

To install dotnet35, follow the instructions in the Howto on the AppDB page for .NET 3.5 that you linked to above.

For general instructions on using Wine, the FAQ is a good place to start.

Thank you, I just figured out I needed Mono to install dotnetfx35 and with Wine 1.4 in the Debian Wheezy repository, Mono is not included...
So I have to figure out how to get Wine 1.6.2 into my Debian system without having to compile it.. since I tried and because of OMV I often can't install the right dependencies to compile it..
But I can't find a damn repository which I can put into my sources.list... So I have no idea what todo now..

Alright I give up, even under Ubuntu I can't get dotnetfx installed, it says:

xdg-open: no method available for opening '/home/ths/.cache/winetricks/dotnet30'
Error occured: errno=5
xdg-open: no method available for opening 'http://www.oldversion.com/download-.Net ... k-3.0.html'

But I've giving up.. All the dependencies would make the VM so big, so I could use Windows anyways...
