Wine and Mono
by Jonathan Ernst 26 Oct '05

26 Oct '05

Hi, .exe files are often associated with Wine so that it's easy for users to double click a windows application and have it working like any native application. Wouldn't it be possible for Wine to detect .Net application and run them using mono (mono app.exe) instead of just failing ? If that's not wanted, would it be at least possible to issue a message to tell the user that the application he'is trying to run is a .Net application and that he should try running it using mono ? What are your opinions about the handling of .Net executables ? Thanks. -- Jonathan Ernst <Jonathan(a)ErnstFamily.ch>

I discovered this issue on x86 on linux 2.6.8/9 which led Linus to fixing by 2.6.11. Andi Kleen has not ported the patch to x86-64 from what I know, so wine will still suffer under it -- ie single stepping into signal handlers, see mailing list archives. You need to get your kernel patched to fix the problem. I have access to x86-64 systems now and may be able to help.

Cool! It works without the dll overrides, and I can see the pages in the store tab now. Thanks for the tip.

Reversing the patch fixes the bug(?). (I've also "downdated" actual CVS-Version of loadorder.c to 1.16 - it works .. at least for the installer, though I don't know what it breaks on the other end.) I'm not really sure what exactly happens, the installer just says "Rolling back MDAC .." assumingly just at the point where it's going to install the "Microsoft XML parser". If anyone likes to try to recreate the bug, you'll have to install IE, and for that you'll have to use Windows-Version Win98 and a NATIVE advpack.dll.
