Hello,

Really? The entries (yours?) are confusing and obviously didn't help me moving
forward installing .Net. 
--- quote ---

Confusing?

Tenths of thousands of people had no problems following Wine appdb .NET HOWTOs
to install various .NET versions with Wine for several years now.

I even put additional information/tidbits in notes to explain common error
messages/pitfalls to avoid people reporting (invalid/known) issues over and
over again.

Yes, sometimes HOWTOs become partly superfluous as Wine and winetricks evolve.

I could have just written "use 'winetricks -q dotnet45'" instead of multiple
steps but alas this *is* the essence of the recipe in 'winetricks'.
Look at the source since I am the originator of various .NET recipes in
'winetricks'.

Anyway, I reworked the appdb .NET 4.5 install recipe, dumbing it down to a
two-liner, assuming people really download the up-to-date 'winetricks' with the
first line instead of using a broken/outdated distro provided 'winetricks'.

Why don't you explain how to install .Net 4.5 using current Wine in 64 bit
prefix 
--- quote ---

What part of "Make sure you operate on­ a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX (~/.wine)!"
is unclear here?

It's written in every .NET appdb entry - even 'winetricks' warns users when
encountering 64-bit WINEPREFIX.

(original title of this bug before you changed it)?

I changed it to highlight the actual problem.

The old summary ".Net 4.5 installation faulty on 64 bit" could result in
another guy creating another bug, stating ".Net 4.5 installation faulty on
32-bit", wasting my time again.

Regards
