Hello Ronak,

the download page for "Microsoft Mathematics 4" clearly states ".NET Framework
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1" as requirement.
Even the installer tells this in the message box.

See: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15702

Anyway, it's winetricks script that is broken.

First, .NET 3.0 SP1 recipe should include .NET 2.0 SP2 recipe (and removed from
3.5 recipe which calls 3.0 SP1 recipe anyway). This change is necessary because
MS added .NET 3.5 feature support.

Second, .NET 2.0 recipe checks for existence of files that get later removed by
.NET 2.0 service packs, not a good idea.
Because of that it tries to reinstall .NET 2.0 which of course fails (msi
install block check) and finally destroys the prefix beyond repair.

Regards
