--- Comment #34 from Hin-Tak Leung htl10@users.sourceforge.net 2008-03-09 15:57:17 --- I should mention that the font copying and registry hack is *also* needed for win32 mono 1.2.6 - so those fonts or whatever probably needs to be a standard part of wine.
with unchanged 0.5.56, .NET 2 framework can be installed, and correctly as well. however, the changes http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3754 are required for *running* .NET apps.
I am not convinced that all of the changes are needed (nor correct, based on the discussions here) - especially the font hack seems too "wholesale" just-copy-everything-under-windows. FWIW, Vista ships over 300Mb of fonts, and it is stupid to copy them all. (I didn't - I just sym-linked them).
