Winetricks: dotnet is a mess

[testman42]

I am slightly annoyed by the fact that if I try to install either dotnet45 or dotnet452 and that installation fails, then I can't do anything because I get a message that the version I am trying to install, and I quote, conflicts with dotnet40, which is already installed..

And then if I try to do winetricks dotnet40 the install wizard says Same or higher version of .NET Framework 4 has already been installed on this computer.

How hard would it be to fix this mess and make installation or upgrades of dotnet versions less confusing?

Which versions of Wine and Winetricks?

You may need a 32-bit prefix due to https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45537 if using Wine 3.13.

You might try the '--force' option for Winetricks, but often it's better to start with a clean prefix in such cases.

https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/commit/6320033a760814c33f7c1547d195be946e95f5d3 informs the user that --force can be used to ignore w_conflicts().
