Hiya,
I have tried playing with the new dotnet3 functionality. Actually even with a clean new wineprefix I haven't been able to get dotnet3 finishing installing - it hangs for a lonh time doing nothing much but the last it does is ngen. the process table shows nothing extra. killing all and rerun gives the option to repair (or uninstall) and this is the tail end of it:

On my good old 'everything' wine prefix, running dotnet2 (which is called by dotnet3) has the effect of *removing* the MSVCRT80 winsxs from winsxs and breaks a lot of things - and I had to copy them back from the alternative clean install. Why does it do that?
The last part (missing charset) seems to be some harmless thing winetrick does - instead of gtk it calls good old xlib message to pop up a message; I haven't looked at why.
