wine users - Jan 2011 - Anyone able to install Sony Vegas HD Platinum in a linux os?

So, i tried this once before and it didn't work because wine thought it was
windows xp and vegas platinum only works with windows 7.  I am brand new to Wine
and have no idea where to even start.  I followed a documentation step by step,
barely able to understand it.  Using winetricks i got all the stuff supposedly
needed to install, but it wouldn't even run the setup.exe file. I am not
sure, I only think its because i installed a bunch of xp stuff cuz the
documentation was outdated and so even if i could run it it wouldn't work. 
So i purged my computer of wine and am ready to start over.   I own the
software, so I don't need to crack anything.  Anyone want to give me a basic
step by step on getting it installed?

Thanks

So, i've tinkered some more.  I have a few questions.

I am able to install dotnet30.   I am unable to install dotnet40.  I am able to
install vcrun2008, I may be able to install vcrun2010 as well.  Does anyone know
if Sony Vegas 10 requires dotnet40? or will dotnet30 be fine.  Ive seen
dotnet3.5 too, should vegas require that instead How do i install it to wine,
without it being available in winetricks (i told you i was new to this).

I can't even get setup.exe to run.  When i try to using gui interface my
mouse pointer changes to a loading symbol and nothing happens.  When i use wine
or wine start from the terminal it just skips immediately to a new prompt, and
nothing happens.

I fresh install wine, then i add msxl6, corefonts, tahoma, fontfix, vcrun2008,
gdiplus, directmusic, quicktime 76, dotnet30 and wmp10.  Is there anything else
i need to run Vegas 10?  Anyone know?

When i install WMP10 the winetricks process never finishes in terminal, but at
the end of it Winamp opens and I can add files to the library.  Whats going on
there, is there something screwed up in my wine or what?

If you can answer even one of these questions, please do.  Thanks

dotnet35 and dotnet40 are not supported in wine.
dotnet30 is dicey.

Is IE6 required?  You might want to start with a fresh/different 
WinePrefix and try using IE7 or just native functionality of Wine to see 
if it works now.
