Installing .NET 4.0 Framework on Wine using Winetricks

I use Xubuntu 12.04 and I installed Wine 1.4. I am now trying to install the .NET 4.0 Framework using Winetricks. I use this command

sudo sh winetricks dotnet40

But I get this error

wine cmd.exe / c echo '% ProgramFiles%' returned empty string

I get this error when I try to install other programs as well. I have managed to install .NET Framework 4.0. previously, but now I can not get this install to go smoothly. How can I resolve this error?

You don't need to use sudo there. – None – 2013-03-02T16:10:35.683

Try this:

$ winetricks dotnet40

For a 64bit system you need to make a 32bit prefix and put the dotnet4.0 in it.

So:

wget http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/winetricks

Then:

env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks dotnet40

wget http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/winetricks: 2018-09-24 13:41:51 ERROR 404: Not Found. – Ferrybig – 2018-09-24T11:42:10.567

did you get the file first? Try the following:

$ wget http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/winetricks

$ bash winetricks dotnet40

WineHQ gives .NET 4 a bronze rating at best. Its ability to install and run properly will vary by which version of Wine you are running.

The googlecode URL is gone - do we have a replacement? Or do we need one? There's either the Github repo (https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks) or you can try to install it yourself from the distro's repos. It came with my version of wine on Ubuntu 16.04.
