also what is a clean prefix *puzzled*?
anyway, just tried installing .net framework 2.0 but after 20 minutes of having the installer hang in "initializing installation" without doing anything (no hd-access, no moving progress bar, no nothing) I had to kill it -.-
If you don't know what a clean prefix the second part of your reply is moot. /home/youruser/.wine is your prefix, where your installed programs and data is. either move it or do something like this to use a new prefix temporarily:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-20824 sh winetricks dotnet20 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-20824 wine curse_setup.exe cd ~/.wine-20824/drive_c/Program\ Files\Curse\ Client WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-20824 wine curse.exe
