Dragon Naturally Speaking 15 fails to install. 
What I did: 
NS15 needs the following: WMI, dotnet452, and Windows above 2003, preferably
Windows 7. 

First I installed Windows PowerShell core using these directions:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/setup/installing-powershell-core-on-linux?view=powershell-6

Then I created a 64-bit wineprefix.

Installed dotnet 452 using winetricks

452 installs but then sets the wine version to either XP or 2003, neither of
which will run NS15. So...

winecfg Windows 7

Then the installation works. It requests that powershell be activated, and that
seems to work. It recognizes that the installed dotnet is inadequate, and
installs its own. 

And then it starts to install the program. 

What makes this confusing is that Natspeak 12.5 also uses dotnet452, and the
same things happen, but NS12.5 installs and runs fine. 

This is the first error message I got 

Expression: [mscorlib recursive resource lookup bug] 
Description: Infinite recursion during resource lookup within mscorlib. This
may be a bug in mscorlib, or potentially in certain extensibility points such
as assembly resolve elements or CultureInfo names. 
Resource name: ArgumentNull_Generic
