    .NET in wine

    I am on 8.04. When I try to install a program in wine, it fails to install. The program requires .NET which may be the reason. Can anyone tell me how to move forward. I might need to upgrade wine and install .NET.

    Have you checked the list of working apps?
    http://appdb.winehq.org/

    It might help folks here to know the specific app you are trying to install, and what sort of errors you encounter.

    This might be useful to you:

      The program is Turbo trader 2 From Global Futures and is not on the list. I am told it needs .NET. The message I get back is from the program itself saying it was not installed. Could it cause any problems for me to install one of the .NET packages (which one?) into wine from

      and see how it goes?

        I've had good results using this script to install some "extra" libraries

        You might want to consider installing into a unique WINEPREFIX in case something goes wrong.

          8.04 has a quite old version of wine. Can I safely upgrade it to newer version and how do I do that?

            I have never had an issue with the "beta" version, but YMMV...

            Add the following repo if you choose to:

            deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt hardy main #WineHQ - Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron"

            More instructions...
            http://www.winehq.org/download/deb

            But I don't think that will necessary solve you issue.
