Hi
This "thing" might be a consequence of the age of the app that I am running, it was produced in 2007.
WINE APPEARED to install but when the installer on the cd was clicked WINE would not install the program which, I noted, needed Mono.
I say noted because I had never seen the install flashing a Mono symbol in the panel when it was installing before and I've installed it dozens of times.
I assume that you have installed WINE from the repo for NEON User or some such version.
it appears that one needs to install WINE-Mono from WINE OR... one can use DotNet.
For Mono:
https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono/4.7.1/
In terminal
enter wine64 uninstaller
choose install from the uninstaller GUI and select the downloaded .msi package
https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono/4.7.1/
HOWEVER I, personally just can't seem to get .msi packages to install correctly, it is probably because I am older than dirt.
So, I went the dot.net route:
in terminal:
sudo apt-get install winetricks
then
winetricks dotnet45
NOTHING APPEARS to happen in the terminal with the latter command, but it does, indeed work.
The above is a shortened version of what i found on the net.
