The default level for Wine is WindowsXP.  However, you have to READ the
entry for .NET Framework before installing any version of it.  There are
tricks and tweaks that you have to do to Wine before .NET (any version
except 3.5) will install.  .NET 3.5 WILL NOT install on Wine directly.

The real trick to installing .NET is to use winetricks as it has all of
the things you must do in one script.
