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. Follow the instructions in the link to install it.
$ bash winetricks -q dotnet462
To work around some bugs you additionally need:
$ bash winetricks -q corefonts
Winbind component
Make sure you installed 'winbind' component with your distribution package manager.
This is needed for the -Zi option of the compiler, and other mechanisms that handle 'PDB' (Program Data Base) files.
Debian:
$ aptitude install winbind
Fedora:
$ sudo dnf install samba-winbind*.x86_64 samba-winbind*.i686
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:
and then run winecfg to set Wine folder structure back up. If you used winetricks script as root you might also need to:
Again: Just run wine as regular user and all should be fine.
