Hi, i wonder if it would be possible to improve winetricks dotnet 1.1, so that it's actually able to run .net-1.1 applications. Currently it only installs the framework, but due to bugs the apps don't run. Atm i use pretty worthless script below to get them running..
I'm kind of hoping James implements the missing bits in msi soon. James, think that will happen soon enough that there's no need to update winetricks?
Note, the dlls gdiplus and mscoree should be set to native only, not (native, builtin), so override_dll should look tiny bit different then in winetricks.
Ah, good point. - Dan

Just sent in the service patch. If you're referring to anything else, I'm not sure what it is. MsiPublishAssemblies won't see the light of day for a long, long time, because it requires fusion.dll being implemented. -- James Hawkins

OK, I guess I'll roll the kludge into crosstool. Thanks, Dan

Implementing fusion.dll sounds like a GSoC project to me (no clue how much work that is). At least getting the basic structure in place should be doable.

Implementing fusion.dll sounds like a GSoC project to me (no clue how much work that is). At least getting the basic structure in place should be doable. It doesn't seem that hard to implementi the fusion dll. The hard part is that you will probably have to dipe really deep into assemblies for it if you want to implement it properly. I don't know the specific code paths taken, but msdn seems to have at least some info on it.
I think that the fusion dll is installed when installing the .net framework because my windows xp install doesn't have it in system32. It is in C:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\${VERSION}, which means it's probably installed as part of the .net framework. Calling it from MSI doesn't seem to be too hard. Cheers, Maarten.

Louis, your script did winetricks allfonts wineprefixcreate #to register the fonts which I didn't quite understand. Why do fonts installed by perfectly valid corefonts installers from Microsoft need to be registered? Do we have a bug somewhere? I ask because http://winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2008-March/030284.html mentions that it helped him. I'm still not quite convinced, hoping you can enlighten me. - Dan
