wine users - Nov 2009 - Wine + Net 2.0 + Msi Problems

I want to install/run a particular program on Wine that requires .Net 2.0, and
unfortunately the installer is an .msi package. (I cannot get it in any other
form.)

I've been having a HELL of a time getting Wine to install .net 2.0 and run
without errors. I've been thinking about using an earlier version (1.1.27)
which supposedly runs .net with a Gold rating, according to the AppDB, but I
can't find the binary installs for it.

Here is where I'm at right now:
I have Wine 1.1.32 installed and appears to be working.
I installed .Net 2.0 more or less successfully, although I've been seeing a
lot of errors.
I tried installing the program with the following command: wine msiexec /i
'/home/asevan/Desktop/Downloads/install.msi'

The install program runs, and seems to do fine, until this error occurs:

Code:
Runtime Error!

Program: C:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe

R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.



Then the installer says it has failed and closes. Here is the terminal output:


Code:

NOTE: I want to point out that I get the following error often, for some reason:


Code:
err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out



Any idea what's going on? I'm new to all things Linux, so be gentle with
me. (At least I know where/what the terminal is, LoL.)

I can't edit my posts, can I?

Just wanted to mention I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. That should
appear in my sig now.

Installed how? You should use winetricks for this if you didn't, remove
~/.wine directory and install .net using winetricks.

You'll need to install that using 'winetricks vcrun2005sp1' too.
