However, winetricks doesn't seem to recognize nor am I able to install the actual update manually.
Maybe you have a very old winetricks? Upgrade to newest might help? Also best to upgrade wine to newest version as well (wine-3.0=rc1)
Apologies for the late reply, however I have been unable to replicate your success. I had since moved from Mint to Ubuntu 17.10, but winetricks had considerable issues trying to install any dotnet software until workarounds brought it down all the way to dotnet40. I eventually located a manual copy of the slim 4.6.2 repack, which ironically installed completely without issues, however I was still unable then to launch the software.
Orca editing the installation MSI solved the directx requirements for me on the installation end, but I continue to run into the brick wall of getting it to actually run. Now since I'm running a clean build of 17.10, perhaps you could tell me anything you've done with your build and Wine to where you were able to get the software to at least launch?
