HowTo / Notes

Get winetricks!

Install winetricks (more details here) to make easier to configure the Wine prefix:

$ sudo wget 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks' -O /usr/local/bin/winetricks
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/winetricks
Automated installation through winetricks

Last update: 2020-08-24


Create a new Wine prefix (for most applications, it's better to set its own prefix):

$ env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet wineboot --init

If Wine prompts for installing Mono, click Cancel.

Install .NET Framework (and optionally install corefonts):

$ env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet winetricks --force dotnet40 corefonts

Use dotnet40 to install .NET Framework 4.0. To install another version of 4.x series, change it to one of the following list:

dotnet45   to install .NET Framework 4.5
dotnet451  to install .NET Framework 4.5.1
dotnet452  to install .NET Framework 4.5.2
dotnet46   to install .NET Framework 4.6
dotnet461  to install .NET Framework 4.6.1
dotnet462  to install .NET Framework 4.6.2
dotnet47   to install .NET Framework 4.7
dotnet471  to install .NET Framework 4.7.1
dotnet472  to install .NET Framework 4.7.2
dotnet48   to install .NET Framework 4.8

... And so on. For example, to install .NET Framework 4.5.2:

$ env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet winetricks --force dotnet452 corefonts

If this doesn't work or you need to install a version not supported by winetricks, try a manual installation (explained below).

Manual installation (Step 1)

Start with a new Wine prefix:

$ env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet wineboot --init

Try to install .NET 4.0 through winetricks:

$ env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet winetricks --force dotnet40 corefonts

If it success and you need to install a higher 4.x version, go to Manual Installation (Step 2). If it doesn't work (very unlikely) keep reading.


Uninstall wine-mono from your Wine prefix:

$ env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet wine uninstaller --remove '{E45D8920-A758-4088-B6C6-31DBB276992E}'

Change reported version to Windows XP, then download and install .NET 4.0:

$ env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet winetricks winxp
$ wget 'http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/A/95A9616B-7A37-4AF6-BC36-D6EA96C8DAAE/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe'
$ env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet wine ~/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe

Open winecfg dialog:

$ env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet winecfg

Go to "Libraries" tab, add a new library substitution called "mscoree" and set it to "Native (Windows)". Close the dialog by clicking OK.

Manual installation (Step 2)

Change reported version to Windows 7:

$ env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet winetricks win7

Manually trigger rebuild of the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) after .NET Framework installation

Use the following command to manually trigger GAC rebuild after .NET Framework installation (or if the Wine prefix changed due to a Wine update):

$ env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet wine "c:\\windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\ngen.exe" update

Some errors (while loading dependent modules that are not GAC'd yet) are expected and can be ignored.

Verify .NET Framework installation using .NET Framework Setup Verification Tool (Microsoft)

Last update: 2023-06-16


To verify .NET Framework installation(s) you can use the .NET Framework Setup Verification Tool from Aaron Stebner (Microsoft) which checks for proper installation of .NET assemblies and registry entries:

$ wget 'https://web.archive.org/web/20200729095123/https://msdnshared.blob.core.windows.net/media/2018/05/netfx_setupverifier_new.zip'
$ unzip netfx_setupverifier_new.zip
$ env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/winedotnet wine ~/netfx_setupverifier.exe

Select the .NET Framework version you want to verify and evaluate the log file manually if verification failed.

fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse ...

URL_ParseUrl FIXME messages on console when running/installin�g .NET apps are harmless and can be safely ignored. Example console output:

fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L"mscorlib"


The application requested process termination through System.Environment.FailFast

If a .NET application exits with the following message in console:

err:eventlog:ReportEventW ...
Description: The application requested process termination through System.Environment.FailFast(string message).\n
Message: Unrecoverable system error.\n
Stack:\n
at System.Environment.FailFast(System.String)\n
at MS.Internal.Invariant.FailFast...

Some of Wine's truetype fonts are still not in shape of being a complete replacement for Windows ones, causing errors.

You must use 'winetricks corefonts' recipe to work around this problem!

System.Window.Markup.XmlParseException when starting .NET apps

If a .NET application exits with the following message in console:

err:secur32:SECUR32_initSchannelSP TLS library not found, SSL connections will fail
err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.
fixme:rpc:RpcBindingSetAuthInfoExW unsupported AuthnSvc 10

You are missing the samba/winbind component which is essential for certain Wine functionality.

Please install winbind with your distribution package manager!

To run this application, you first must install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: .NETFramework,Version=v4.0

If you encounter this error, the .NET4 app basically requests .NET 4.0 Full Framework. The default for .NET 4.0 Framework is "Client Profile".

Workaround: If your .NET4 application is called "foo.exe", rename "foo.exe.config" to something different and run again.

If this file is missing the CLR assume that your app is targeting NET4 Client Profile by default (which should work out in most cases).­

dotnet40 (.NET Framework 4.0)
by fabrizio on Wednesday April 12th 2023, 14:01
You can try using the following command to install .NET Framework 4.0 on Ubuntu: ``` sudo apt-get install -y winetricks winetricks dotnet40 ``` Make sure you have Wine installed on your system before running these commands.

if there is an Error code: `0x8001011d` usually indicates a communication failure between Wine and the .NET Framework installer. You can try the following workaround to fix the error: 1. Open a terminal window. 2. Run the following command to delete the existing Wine prefix: ``` rm -rf ~/.wine ``` 3. Run the following command to create a new Wine prefix: ``` WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg ``` 4. In the Wine configuration window, go to the "Applications" tab, and select "Windows 7" or a later

then type: env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 winetricks dotnet40
