Bug #: 29666 Summary: TurboTax 2011 fails to install Product: Wine Version: 1.3.37 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: dotnet, Installer Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: austinenglish@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
Tax time, so tried Turbo Tax 2011 under wine. Installer starts up, then says it's fixing file/registry permissions. It then attempts to install .NET 4 (so this is may be blocked by bug 25535).
Instead, I tried mono210, which has .Net 4.0 support:
$ rm -rf ~/.wine # It wants mfc42u.dll, and there are some vbscript fixme's followed by turbotax output about not finding the .net directory. $ winetricks -q mono210 vcrun6 wsh57 # attempt install $ wine setup.exe
fails, saying: ".NET 4.0 Framework verification failed. Please repair it from the Add/Remove Control Panel."
Potentially a mono bug, though looking at the terminal output, it's using NTFS security features, so the bug may be in wine..
Focht, feeling lucky? :)
