crash log

I tried installing Matlab R2010. It showed me error which is attached.

At first, it requires mfc42.dll. According to Bug 657
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657, we have to use winetricks to
download the mfc42.dll. I did that, and the setup worked fine till 96%.

However, the setup.exe crashed showing 
"FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
set to an instance of an object"

Please help

Thanks

I would try winetricks -q dotnet20, dotnet35 or dotnet40.

Usually dotnet20 or dotnet40 are enough.

Hi,
Thanks for the tip.

Now, it atleast installs, though it stops sometimes and kinda crash.

After installing dotnet20 only, installation was still giving error: missing
dlls. So I have to do

$ winetricks -q mfc42 dotnet20 vcrun2005 vb6run

I am still unable to understand. We didn't used to do all that in wine 1.7 or
wine 1.8. I used Matlab; it used to work flawless with previous versions of
wine.

Please explain. Is it because I am testing it with wine2.0rc?

Thanks

Wine is constantly changing, addind new features and fixing bugs. It's not that
unusual that something breaks meanwhile. But you shouldnt downgrade wine or use
old version because of that. You should open bugs and be responsive to them so
bugs can be fixed.
