set ver = ?

[Wesley Parish]

Addendum:  I got past the unloading into temporary folder stage of 
MicrosoftVirtualPC2004EnglishTrial.exe, before it told me I should read the 
documents to see what the minimum system requirements were.

Then it died on me.

Bummer.
//
does Wine have anything that does that?

I've just tried "wine MS\ .net\ framework\ SDK\ -\ with\ C-sharp\ compiler\ 
Setup.exe"
and it told me that it couldn't install on Win95, Win98 etc, and I'd have to 
upgrade to NT 4.0 before it would install.

Any hints, ideas, previous experience on configuring Wine for suchlike?

Thanks

Try setting the winver option in ~/.wine/config to NT40 or using the 
--winver=NT40 option

Thanks.  I'm trying that now.

Tell us if you have success as .net is known not to be installable
because of proprietary technologies in the installer that are not yet
compatible with the wine api.

[Wine]Re: set ver = ?

I wish I could say it installed and I'm now happily writing C# using 
Microsoft's own tolkit; but it hasn't installed.

It complains about a command line syntax problem, then insists I ask about 
syntax with the /? option - which I do.

Then it shows me four options, but without explaining much else, then when I 
try to implement, it complains again about a command line syntax problem, 
which it then insists I ...

Not much luck.

You probably need to do it the way Wine (or some Wine versions)
expects parameter passing (i.e. the usual Unix way):
wine -- program.exe /?
might work.

But that's what I do.  I gets circular after a while, with me attempting to 
work out just what Win32/.NET is expecting, and being told that I must ask 
for the proper syntax again, and so on and so forth ... like shouting 
instructions to a deaf man. ;)
