wine users - Jul 2010 - Attempting to bypass .net check/use mono

I am trying to use the mono26 install from winetricks in order to run an
installer that fails to find:

C:\\windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.0.50727\\mscorsvw.exe

even though I have both that 2.0 and the 3.0 framework in my .wine/ folder. 
Once it fails to find that file it starts to run a 3.5 framework installer that
wine doesn't quite have working yet.

Does anybody have any advice on getting the mono install to be used in place of
.net for the installer check?

try:

$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727/
$ cp ngen.exe mscorsvw.exe
$ cd /usr/lib/wine
$ cp ngen.exe.so mscorsvw.exe.so

Ultimately, Wine will have to provide a replacement for mscorsvw.exe.

Thanks for the help!  I still am getting the following message:

wine: cannot find
L"C:\\windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.0.50727\\mscorsvw.exe"

I am using wine 1.2 installed through the ubuntu ppa.  I am using 64 bit ubuntu
so my lib directory is /usr/lib32/wine though I don't know if that makes
much difference.  Also my full path for the v2 .NET folder is:

~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727

Not sure if it makes any difference since you didn't have the windows folder
between drive_c and Microsoft.NET.  The error message I'm getting is
pointing to my directory anyway.

Really not sure why it isn't seeing the file though.

Thanks again, I have created Bug 23816 and CC'd you, I will be following
that for adding any more information I didn't think of adding right away.

As for my current issue, I have wine no longer giving the missing file error
just a

fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0

when I attempt to run the installer with mono26 and forcemono winetricks active.
The installer comes up and tells me I need .NET 3.5 and will try to run the
installer instead of trying to use mono like I hope it would do.

is the application freely downloadable so we could give it a try?

The program can be downloaded
here:http://www.fileplay.net/file/9159/bloodline-champions-beta-installer

I actually was able to get the installer to proceed past that by just accepting
through the .NET 3.5 and XNA downloads and installing until I received another
error that I had to control-c out of.  Relaunching the installer and repeating
my steps this time allowed the installer to run all the way through.

At this point the application is installed but if I try and run the program
through the following wine start menu in gnome (env
WINEPREFIX="/home/wdouglas/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe
/Unix /home/wdouglas/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/wdouglas/Start\
Menu/Programs/Bloodline\ Champions/Bloodline\ Champions.lnk)

But it fails to launch or show any error dialog.  I attempt to run the
executables in the installed directory as well through wine (env
WINEPREFIX="/home/wdouglas/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe
/Unix /home/wdouglas/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/wdouglas/Start\
Menu/Programs/Bloodline\ Champions/Bloodline\ Champions.lnk) but receive the
following errors:

I was able to proceed a little further getting the program to launch by
installing the .net 2.0 and 3.0 frameworks after installing the program itself
with just mono26.

I have updated my Bug 23816 with that information and attached a log file for
running the program.
