https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37600 --- Comment #5 from Tcll <tcll5850(a)gmail.com> --- thanks :) if that's the case, it may be my purge script --- rm -rf $HOME/.wine rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/*wine* rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/*wine* rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/wine_*.xpm rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/*wine* sudo apt-get remove --purge wine sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get install wine1.7 WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg wine uninstaller --remove '{E45D8920-A758-4088-B6C6-31DBB276992E}' bash winetricks dotnet11sp1 dotnet20sp2 dotnet30 dotnet35 dotnet40 bash winetricks win7 bash winetricks dotnet45 bash winetricks win2k3 --- but this was a compilation of recommendations from various places, except for the bottom chunk. when .NET 4.5 installs, I get prompted to install Service Pack 2/3. (I forget if it's just before, or just after the installation) ^I've only ran this script twice, and quite a while back also, just recently checked: tcll(a)tcll-AY589AAR-ABA-a4317c:~$ winetricks -q vcrun2008sp1 Executing w_do_call vcrun2008 vcrun2008 already installed, skipping this was either installed by my script or by a program that required it (such as various VS2010 installations (which all have failed to install)) anyways thanks for any further help :) -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
