Hi,

I'm trying to install a Windows app (a farm management application, not a game).

I've got POL installed quite happily. The trouble is the installer won't run properly, I think this is because it requires .net 2. Catch 22, because i can't create a manual prefix to install .net into until the windows installer has run.

Has anybody got any ideas how to get around this problem??

Thanks in advance.

PoL have builtin funtion for .Net framework, make a proper PoL installer sur your app and use this function, before your setup of course :

POL_Call POL_Install_dotnet20

This will Install .Net framework 2.0

But, as .Net is not very usable/stable with wine, try first with Mono, using this function :

POL_Call POL_Install_mono210

This will install Mono Framework 2.10 (working far better with wine)

You can use this PoL Installer as model, since it's quite basic.

You can also simply wait until your installer crash, then use PlayOnLinux Functions installer (in Other section of the Installation menu in PoL) to install .Net/Mono then retrying, using the SAME prefix, your setup.
