Trying to get DXperience under Linux: I get the "Windows 3 Installer" required when installing .NET 2.0 under the wine in SLED

Question

I want to try a set of components DXperienceon Linux (Suse Linux desktop). Since it is heavily dependent on PInvoke calls, Mono will not work here.

Some people have been able to complete this task by installing .NET 2.0 under Linux fault.

I tried to do this with winetricks and manually. Each time .NET 2.0 is installed on SLED, the prompt "Installer 3" appears with the last wine.

The installation of MSI3 itself fails due to the lack of cryptographic services.

This can be avoided by installing .NET 2.0 in Win98 mode, but the installation process is interrupted until the end.

Has anyone come across this before?

Answer 1

I do not think you could install .Net 2.0 on Linux. Even if you could use some hacks, you probably would come across a broken infrastructure.

Well, I googled and found this page Interaction with native libraries , I suppose you can use pinvoke in mono and have a wine intepret, which is proper. This way, it works very well, and you can probably get more help from the community, rather than installing .NET on Linux.
