Oddly, I have the same issue - dotnet versions up to 3.0 work fine, but all later versions just hang forever.
When I try to install dotnet40 with winetricks, it gets up to Executing winetricks_early_wine regedit C:\windows\Temp_winxp\set-winver.reg and then it just never completes.
I wonder if this is related.
What is your winetricks version?
I'm using whatever version of winetricks is part of PlayOnLinux on Ubuntu 16.04.
AFAIK PlayOnLinux doesn't use winetricks, they have their own system to install things like dotnet. The comment above said that it worked for him through POL when installing dotnet40.
