Using the recipe
  winetricks dotnet20 ie7
one can then install need for speed world's launcher, 
but the launcher has trouble downloading the game.
There seem to be more than one failure mode;
sometimes you get a dialog and can press "download"
to retry, other times it locks up.
It does eventually succeed after something like
2-3 kills+restarts and 2-3 clicks on the download error dialog + download
button.
