Cantabile 3.0 on KxStudio 14.04 Ubuntu .net40 questions

[windeguy]

As a musician, I have been running Cantabile Lite 2.0 reasonably well so far under WINE. Many VSTi's and VST's work well. I use Cantabile on a laptop with midi controllers to play live gigs.

I wanted to upgrade to Cantabile Lite 3.0 which requires .NET40

I ran the following in a terminal

winetricks dotnet40

I received this message after it failed to complete:

Please download gacutil-net40.tar.bz2 from http://www.mediafire.com/?v8rw5h1ra7maod4, place it in /home/mike/.cache/winetricks/dotnet40, then re-run this script.

I downloaded gacutil-net40.tar.bz2 but,
I do not have a directory of /home/mike/.cache/winetricks/dotnet40

How do I proceed?

Sounds like you're using an old version of winetricks. Get the current version here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winet ... winetricks.

Thank you for the response. I did a wget of winetricks from the URL you posted. I then had the proper directory structure of /home/mike/.cache/winetricks/dotnet40. I moved the suggested file gacutil-net40.tar.bz2 into that directory and it appeared to load .NET40. So I must have had an older version of winetricks as you suggested.

I then installed Cantabile 3.0 and it installed (without asking for anything additionally).

However, when I try to run Cantabile 3.0 I get a Kernel error. I have tried installing Cantabile 3 both as Win7 and Win8 and no change on the Kernel error.

Could this be something lacking in the support for .net40?

Also, I noticed that the directory was a .cache path, which I understand is 'hidden' normally. How do I view that path normally? Is it viewable only in the terminal?
