Hello, for some reason im not getting the wine mono and gecko install window when using wine for the first time, this is a problem because one of my windows program needs them and doesn’t launch without them. thanks in advance for help. I have wine 7.10 and wine-mono 7.3 installed

Hi,

Then :

  • You have installed wine
    dnf -y install wine; dnf -y install q4wine; dnf -y install winetricks;

  • You tried to install/run an exe and you missed Gecko,… installation

  • Did you try to install wine gecko and mono as this ?
    dnf -y reinstall mingw32-wine-gecko.noarch; dnf -y reinstall mingw64-wine-gecko.noarch; dnf -y reinstall wine-mono.noarch; dnf -y update, dnf -y upgrade;

You should need to install both : Gecko 32bit wine and 64bit wine version

If I delete the .wine folder on home is it supposed to prompt the installation of mono and gecko in windows 98 looking windows? Because I don’t know how to check if wine has detected and is using gecko or mono, I think not because my program worked on fedora on my last installation, but I don’t know how to make sure.

I just used lutris and it works fine, so I guess this is resolved then, thanks.

Great !
You can also dnf -y update; dnf -y upgrade; dnf -y install lutris.x86_64; to obtain directly lutris-0.5.10.1-2.fc36.x86_64
