How to: Install .net Framework 2.0 in Ubuntu w/Wine

Aug 242010

The first thing that you’ll want to do is go to the Wine Config and set Windows 2000 as the default app.

Next, enter the following into the command line:

wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks

Then enter:

sh winetricks corefonts dotnet20

And finally:

sh winetricks fakeie6

This works with .NET 3.0 as well. Just replace the 2 with a 3 as in sh winetricks dotnet30

What if i’m getting “Winetricks now lives in the svn repository at http://winetricks.org” after I put do “sh winetricks corefronts dotnet20″. In an attempt to prevent this I used winetricks.2 instead of winetricks. That gave me different, but still unsuccessful results. now command line gave me
“usage: winetricks.2 [options] [command|verb|path-to-verb] . . .
executed given verbs. Each verb installs an application or changes a setting”
Then it goes on to list options and commands.
