Can't install dotnet

Question

Every time I do

winetricks dotnet20

The install window comes up, I hit next, and then it crashes.

Here's what the terminal says

l@l-Aspire-5515:~$ winetricks dotnet20

What should I do?

Solution

Did you Install two versions of wine/wine-mono?

I've had the same problem, did the following steps:

1. Uninstall all previous packages starting with wine using

   sudo apt-get remove 'wine*'
   

2. Add apt-repository using

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
   

3. Install Wine 1.7 from repository:

   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine1.7
   

   Now run the command:

   winetricks dotnet20
   

To download required file and install it correctly.

What version of Ubuntu is this? Personally I've had trouble using wine on 12.10, 12.04 is probably more reliable.

why to remove all packages? if it exist and up to date then apt-get would simply ignore it!

@Yousef's you're right, specially when there are other packages installed and depends on those wine packages, and they would be unfortunately removed. BUT according to the question, this situation happened when you dont remove previous wine packages. maybe the best solution is to sit and wait for an stable version. if you can't wait, then it would be easier to remove all wine and depended packages, and re-install depended packages after updating your wine version (if there is any)

@MostafaNazari - I remember being able to run winetricks dotnet20 after setting a WINEARCH=win32 in older versions of Ubuntu after installing ia32-libs. currently, I am on 15.04 64b, and am facing the same problem as the question above. Can it be fixed with a stable wine installation (wine 1.6xx) ?

[Mostafa Nazari]

@3l4ng I did not face this problem recently. I think it's still the only solution: upgrade to wine 1.7

[3l4ng]

@MostafaNazari - is that stable enough?
