Re: How to install .NET ?

["DARKGuy ." <dark.guy.2008@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was about to suggest the same thing, but alas, it would be hard to do anyways. Another solution would be to extract the installer (it's possible sometimes) and replace the offending .exe with a basic one that WINE runs flawlessly (
notepad.exe? xD) and run the installer... however, that could lead to issues if the program really depends on any output from the .NET installer... not to mention it's a VERY DIRTY hack and it might not work, but it's a theory I have in mind xD.

Obviously, this developer closes eyes for the case when his version
of the dependency doesn't match what other parts of the system
require which is usually the case after the first system update
(patch for .NET in this case) at latest.

It appears, the only choice to get rid of such destructive
assumptions is to hack the installer or to install on another system
and transfer the files really needed. Both is likely a tricky thing
due to registry entries and thelike.
