Any .NET version. Mono 2.6 supports all of those (see
http://www.mono-project.com/Compatibility).

My work on mscoree so far has done basically nothing. There is a
Dotnet section in wine.inf that installs some registry keys that
satisfy some installers.

Thanks.



The compatibility information basically indicates that Mono can substitute for .NET below version 3.0. 3.0 and higher still needs Microsoft's implementation.

How would you handle hybridizing Mono with Microsoft's framework?
