For testing, using a C# hello world is easy: austin@debian-desktop:~/debian-mono$ cat hello.cs // A Hello World! program in C#. using System; namespace HelloWorld { class Hello { static void Main() { Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); } } } # Compile it (needs mono-mcs package): $ mcs hello.cs # Then run it. Without mono: austin@debian-desktop:~/debian-mono$ wine-development hello.exe 0009:err:mscoree:CLRRuntimeInfo_GetRuntimeHost Wine Mono is not installed # With mono: $ msiexec /i ~/.cache/wine/wine-mono-4.7.1.msi ... $ austin@debian-desktop:~/debian-mono$ wine-development hello.exe Hello World! I do know that there are some mono apps that works, but I don't have a list handy. Keep in mind though that if the app is moderately complex, it likely will run into a mono limitation. > I have been trying to find an example for a while now, without success. > Most installers that I have tried do not detect dotnet as already > installed and claim it is missing.

I don't think so. I just tried in a self compiled wine upstream, then I cancelled the gecko/mono installs. There's no C:\windows\mono. -- -Austin GPG: 267B CC1F 053F 0749 (expires 2021/02/18)
