ncl is running Ubuntu.  I don't think the problem is AppArmor either.  ncl changed a Wine registry setting and then was able to install .NET 3.0 with Kernel 2.6.35 installed.  Again, this looks to be a Kernel specific issue outside of the scope of the Wine project.  Maybe the ncl can provide additional information on the setup of Linux and if AppArmor is in use.

ncl also stated that a test of .NET 2.0 could not be done.  fastmd5 is a .NET 2.0 application that is small and will indeed advise if .NET 2.0 is installed and functional.  ncl could you try to use this program?

Fastmd5 can be downloaded from:

It also works with Mono version 1.1 or higher.  Nice test to see if Mono is installed correctly as well.
