New Demo Won't Install under Linux

[Cpt. Charisma]

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 with the latest updates.  When it gets to the part where it is going to install the .NET framework, it briefly shows the .Net install screen then goes back to the previous screen.  The .Net install screen looks very wierd.  I will attach a screenshot so you can see it.  Here is what Wine has to say about things:

$ wine ./InstallEufloriaDemo.exe
fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x33fea0) using GetSystemInfo()
fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership ((nil) 0x184dd0 0x33fe1c) stub!
fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership ((nil) 0x1817b8 0x33fce4) stub!
fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECTED_STATE: STUB
$

I'm going to try installing .net on my own, then running the installer.  I'll let you know what happens.

Do not use autoupdate, use:

- start with a clean ~/.wine directory (just rm -rf  or mv yours)
- wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks && sh winetricks mono24 vcrun2008 vcrun2008sp1 dotnet30
- wine Dyson.exe

But game crashes randomly.

People investigated lua bindings, I blame sound output, but nothing has been done - it's primarily a Windows game.

So if you want to run Dyson - use this method, it works (for some time) ok and flawlessly.
If you want to play - Windows-only, sorry.

Hmm... dotnet 3 won't install.  Too bad, I really liked this game.  Maybe I'll try it again when they release a Linux version.

should only need dot net 2 for this game.
