I read it quickly and never really managed to get it installed from /usr/share, but before I jump to the conclusion that it didn't work, I want to find a reliable way to test whether or not wine-mono is installed. Looking at wine uninstaller isn't enough as it produces results that are hard to explain, like mono/gecko showing as present even when they were not installed. > btw, the command is always "wine" (not wine64 or wine32), e.g. "wine > msiexec /i winemono.msi".

Sure, I specified wine64 because this is what WineHQ's wiki specifically says so, for 64bit prefixes: - https://wiki.winehq.org/Mono It also yields totally different results, if we trust wine uninstaller. Note that the .msi is supposed to install both 32 and 64bit versions of mono. It could be that installing it with just wine will install only the 32bit version and skip the 64bit version. -- Alexandre Viau av...@debian.org
