This is not 100% correct. The .NET 4.5 installer contains some files in an .msu
package. Wine Staging provides a basic WUSA implementation than can handle
those files and you can install 4.5 directly without first installing any older
.NET versions. The only problem is that .NET 4.5 does not support XP any more.
If you install 4.0 first in XP mode, you get some additional libraries that are
only used for XP, while installing .NET 4.5 directly with Wine Staging will
only provide the windows 7 libraries. You will for example notice that .NET 4.5
starts using UIAutomationCore.dll when installing it directly with Wine
Staging. On the other hand, running 4.5 with XP libraries from 4.0 is not
supported by MS and might introduce new bugs. When the windows 7 support of
Wine is getting better, using the windows 7 dlls should be the better choice.

So far Wine does not contain any CAs and expects the host system to provide
them.
