Never run wine as root (su, sudo)! Wine doesn't require to be run as root!
You will screw your WINEPREFIX and possibly other things up. If you have run Wine as root you need to:
$ sudo rm -rf ~/.wine
and then run winecfg to set Wine folder structure back up. If you used winetricks script as root you might also need to:
$ sudo rm -rf ~/winetrickscache
Again: Just run wine as regular user and all should be fine.
Components displayed which failed installation in finish installation setup page
In the "finish installation" setup page of the VS.NET 2005
Enterprise version, there are components displayed which failed installation. This can be currently ignored (needs further investigation).
Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Installing Visual Studio 2005 component action takes considerable time (consuming 100% CPU)
This is bug 14168. The installer takes considerable time when the Installing Visual Studio 2005 component is processed on install page. Depending on machine speed it takes 20-60 minutes until it really
begins to copy files.
Wine's msi component executes large
table joins which causes this performance hit (CPU usage 100% for long time). Just be patient.
Note
After IDE start, the start page constantly refreshes, eating CPU
This is bug 10522. Close the "Start page" to work around this problem.
Form Designer is blank
This is bug 18106. Use the following workaround to display the form:
Open Form1.cs in Designer
Open the Form1.Designer.cs and modify it (e.g. add a space and remove it.)
Switch back to the "Form1.cs [Design]" tab. Form elements should appear
HOWTO
Make sure you operate on a clean WINEPREFIX (~/.wine)!
Prerequisite installation by using 'winetricks' script
Winetricks will take care of all needed installation prerequisites and work around some problems.
$ wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
$ sh winetricks -q vcrun6 dotnet20 msxml6
Optionally install core fonts:
$ sh winetricks corefonts
You need cabextract utility (project website here) for winetricks corefonts step. Make sure it's installed locally.
Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install cabextract
Fedora:
$ sudo yum install cabextract
err:module:import_dll Library sqdedev.DLL not found
The following installer message in console is expected and harmless:
err:module:import_dll Library sqdedev.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\temp\\msi3a93.tmp") not found
err:msi:ACTION_CallDllFunction failed to load dll L"C:\\windows\\temp\\msi3a93.tmp"
