Winetricks: not able to install dotnet >= 45

[gso]

Ref. following issue:

Installation of .NET 3.0 (dotnet30) fails
https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/700#issuecomment-279733112

'netframework3.exe' can fail also in a similar manner to 'dotnetfx3.exe', executing the command that failed using wine on the command line alone works fine.

'dotnet40' installs OK (depending only on dotnet30), however dotnet45 and above pulls in dotnet35sp1, and also dotnet20 (which conflicts with dotnet >= 45), before failing in one of the ways as outlined above.

Applies to the current default wine and winetricks install on Ubuntu (wine 1.8), however also stable 2.0, and devel and staging 2.1 (with the latest winetricks).

A workaround:

$ wineboot --init
$ wine winecfg  # [ ] change OS to Windows 7
$ wine uninstaller  # [ ] uninstall mono if installed
$ # download .NET 4.52 https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=42642
$ wine /opt/NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe

.NET 4.62 will install likewise from what I can gather but with a workaround (involves an alternate download).

I'm not able to install .NET 4.62, installing with silent mode doesn't work neither

In a clean wine 32 prefix
winetricks dotnet46
installs .Net 2.0 and
error: dotnet46 conflicts with dotnet20, which is already installed.

You need to download an 'un-official re-packed version' by the looks, see the WineHQ DB entry https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=34702 - you will need also to install it manually (ref. workaround steps outlined above).

4.0 installs with winetricks fine, for some reason though higher than this pulls in 3.x which installs 2.0 which conflicts with the original version; .NET > 4.0 can however be installed standalone (i,.e., does not actually need 3.x or 2.0, unless they are included by winetricks for other misc. components).

+1 that winetricks dotnet45 seems to install dotnet20, and then later says error: dotnet45 conflicts with dotnet20, which is already installed.

I'm interested to see where the script that winetricks dotnet45 is lives - I didn't see it when I searched through this repo.

Please test #757

https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/commit/ddf5c7c059ebc9b78031584cb82332e091c52d28 should fix this.

I haven't been able to test this, sorry
I thought I could power through, but I don't grok wine/winetricks/etc enough to figure out how to test a branch :x

I think it seems pretty likely that not calling w_call dotnet35 will fix this issue, I'm hopeful! :)

For anyone else having this problem a workaround is to run:

winetricks --force dotnet452

The installer for .NET 4.0 will run first, which will ask if you want to remove or repair the installation - either option seems to work fine (selecting remove will give you an error that you cannot remove 4.0 in this context, which then proceeds to install 4.5.2 fine)

Whatever I do I get this:

@Zibri If I remember correctly, this does actually mean you need more disk space, despite the error not showing correctly.

[austin987]

@Zibri what kind of file system is your prefix on?

[Zibri]

Normal root file system on ubuntu standard installation. (ext4)

In my testing dotnet45 needed 1.7GB of free space while dotnet46 was good with 1.5GB (at least as reported by df).
EDIT: dotnet40 is the most painful, with 1.9GB required
