    Getting Wine to properly run in Neon User Ubu 5.14

    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.
