wine users - Sep 2010 - .net 3.0 and Windows Presentation Framework?

Hi, 

I'm currently using SolidWorks with Wine 1.3-2, and it works pretty well
now. Unfortunately, some add-ons depends on .net30, and particularly
WPF. As mono2.x doesn't support WPF, is there a way to use native one
from .net30 ?



I tried to install dotnet20 and 30 only with winetricks, but it doesn't
helps. In fact it trashes my SolidWorks installation, and i had to
restore my wineprefix to be able to use it again. 

When installing mono2.6 alone, Solidworks complains about WPF missing. 
So :

1 - Does it makes sense to install dotnet30 for another purpose than
making installers happy ?

2 - does installing dotnet30 with mono 2.6 makes sense in this case ?

3 - is there a way to prevent it from making SolidWorks unuseable ?  

Thanks for any help,

Denis

In what way is it trashed? Could you post the crash output?

If the app needs stuff from dotnet30 it does so.

Again, could you post console output? 
Main problem for wpf apps is bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18640 .
Maybe some little hacks from this bug might help

Thanks for any help,
