Hello,

what is the point of this bug?
That custom action fails on purpose due to a missing prerequisite: .NET

You either have to provide .NET installation through 'winetricks -q dotnet20'
or Mono.
The problem is that Mono provides the 'machine.config' file in non-standard
location.
Either winetricks recipe needs a fix to copy that machine.config file to
'C:\\windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.0.50727\\CONFIG\\machine.config'
after Mono installation or wait until a Mono package exists one day which will
include this step.

Appdb:

--- quote ---
Note­: If installing Office Professional Plus, copy a machine.config file from
either a .NET 2.0 or Mono install to the wineprefix's
drive_c/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727/CONFIG directory. 
--- quote ---

If you already have .NET Framework 2.0 prerequisite in the WINEPREFIX where
Office 2010 gets installed to there is *nothing* to do.

If anything this is a Mono-integration problem and it should be explicitly
stated as.
There is nothing to fix in Wine itself here.

Regards
