Can't install .NET Framework 3.5 on Wine x64

[byjove01]

*sigh*

I noticed my .NET Framework install was probably corrupted according to weird reactions from my .NET-dependent games - like the Batman Arkham games - so I used the clean-up tool to remove my installations and ran the winetricks dotnet35 installer.
But the install fails and I get this log.

Normally, 3.5 should include 2.0 and prior .NET builds. Using the build from the Microsoft website won't change anything. What is happening?

My build is wine-8.17 x64.

Anybody here?

Can you successfully install the .Net 3.5 framework in a new, clean prefix?

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX="${HOME}/dotnet-test" winetricks -q dotnet35

[byjove01]

Yes, it works (at least there were no errors), but I'd rather try to repair my own wineprefix instead of creating another one (and having to reinstall several programs) for the hundredth time if possible...

[jkfloris]

Unfortunately, the .Net 3.5 Framework cannot be officially uninstalled.
However, you may be able to force it.

Make a backup of your wineprefix in case it doesn't work!

winecfg → Remove the "mscoree" and "mscorwks" overrides

Remove "mscoree.dll" from "system32" and "syswow64"

Repair the prefix with "wineboot -u"

Reinstall the .Net Framework with "winetricks --force -q dotnet35"

--- Edit ---
Unfortunately, the above solution does not work in my test prefix. Probably several registry keys also need to be removed before the prefix is repaired.

The problem is still there, but I managed to find a workaround. Wine being so hard to manage properly is just sad.
Thanks you anyways.
