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?

Re: .NET in wine
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?Comment

Re: .NET in wine
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.Comment

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

Re: .NET in wine
I have never had an issue with the "beta" version, but YMMV...Originally posted by ahurd
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.Comment
