Linux – Winetricks fails installing dotnet20 and msxml6

linuxlinux-mintwinewinetricks

I tried installing dotnet20 and msxml6 with winetricks, but both fail with different errors.

It seems that dotnetfx20 isn't available anymore at the microsoft download center.
Here's my output for the command winetricks dotnet20:

So, what do I do now? I tried installing .Net Framework 2.0 SP1 x64 manually, but that fails either with no specific error message.

msxml6 is apparently available but it fails. A message dialog tells me, that msxml6 isn't made for 64-bit. How do I configure wine to get the 64-bit packages?
Output:

I'd like to install MS Office 2010 x86. Do I need to configure wine for 64-bit?

Update:
I managed to install msxml6. To be able to do that, I had to rename ~/.wine to something else and recreate the wine config with $ WINEARCH=win32 winecfg.
Installing msxml6 worked without problems then.

Update2:
Now that I've set wine to run in 32-bit mode, I was able to download dotnetfx.exe from filehippo and ran it with $ wine dotnetfx.exe.
Sadly, the installation failed:

Best Answer

I ran into the same problem yesterday. I posted a fix on the ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12176837

Maybe that works better than the file from filehippo.

Edit: Make sure that wine is in 32 bit mode as specified on the wine-hq page for .net 2.0
