Run .net applications in Linux with Wine

Donet applications under Linux.

I have written a few self-coded programmes in .net, these use Windows Forms. In Mono these do not run directly in Linux, so I wanted to run them with Wine. That should also work.

However, I got an error message:

Wine Mono is not installed

Wine Mono is available here for download. I have selected the version that matches the installed Wine version.

wine -version

We can then install the package:

wine start wine-mono-9.0.0-x86.msi

Success was achieved at the next start.

Additional message: failed to init Gecko

However, the integrated web browser, which is used in parts of the application, did not work. At least the application does not crash immediately, only the browser component remains empty.

Wine Gecko can be downloaded here.

Install in the same way as above. Afterwards everything worked.

Uninstallation

If the components are to be uninstalled again later, this can be done using the Wine uninstaller.

wine uninstaller
