wine + mono instead of .net framework?

[Jeroen Janssen]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to use mono instead of the (microsoft) .net
framework for windows applications running under wine.

i.e. I have an application that 'requires' .net 2.0, and wants me to install it.
With mono 'installed' it would see that .net 2.0 is "already installed" and just
work ;)

Any thoughts on if this is possible (or even wanted?)

Best regards,

Jeroen Janssen

Sure is. Simplest way is to grab the win32 installer from the mono page:
http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html

Tracked in appdb here:

Or if you have winetricks it supports installing mono too:
