--- Comment #10 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2010-07-29 03:06:32 --- Hello,
--- quote --- Mono should function as a valid replacement for .net in Wine. --- quote ---
Sure ... but changes to Wine should be in a way that doesn't end up messing MS .NET Framework or clutter up Wine with various .NET specific stuff that clearly doesn't belong there (non OS-related, not subject to Win32/64 API). MS .NET and Mono should be treated equally as "external" applications.
It will only hurt the Wine user experience in the years to come if you start to treat MS .NET Framework as second class citizen in order to _completely_ replace it (a tedious task for a moving target also considering various legal issues that prevent impl some key technologies/components).
I overlooked some stuff in the past which sneaked in aid to get Mono up but in fact more or less confuses installers and users (can be fixed afterwards but that requires additional steps). Also triaging mono bugs (that are in fact application bugs!) in Wine bugzilla is a somewhat questionable approach. If you really want that, consider adding a keyword "mono" to bugzilla to not confuse/mix up Wine bugs from .NET Framework ("dotnet" keyword).
Regardings this bug, Louis already said it, add:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5\1033] "Install"=dword:00000001
and the installer won't complain.
