This is a script to install CASSYLab 2, which is a program used in science and education to gather measurements and analyze them. In order for CASSYLab 2 to work you need to install dotnet20. Also I remember that some really old versions of wine that I used back in my school time didn't work. Just to be sure I'm using version 1.7.49 in this script. I don't know how you handle this, but perhaps the version could also be dropped.
According to WineHQ you can't get the USB measuring tools to work. (I can't confirm this as I don't have one at home). However this software is still usefull if you just want to analyze your measurements at home (or even just want to be able to read and export the files containing your measurements). Also I have recognized that some analyzing functions lead to a crash. I haven't found a solution for that yet. But I think even the (slightly) reduced set of functions that work would help a lot of people in my situation.
