--- Comment #37 from Ben <bvandermerwe at kbcat.com> ---
I see this marked as fixed. On Ubuntu 18.04 (64 bit with i386 added) with
wine-stable, which gives you wine 5.0.3, .NET installs fine. But on any more
recent version or if you use wine-devel from winehq, the .NET installation
hangs. Reproducibly, always.

Using Ubuntu 64 bit do this:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update

For 18.04 add: sudo apt-add-repository 'deb
http://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ bionic main'
For 18.04 you also need: wget -qO-
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_18.04/Release.key
| sudo apt-key add -
For 18.04 you also need: sudo sh -c 'echo "deb
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_18.04/
./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/obs.list'
For 20.04 add: sudo add-apt-repository 'deb
https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main'
For 20.10 add: sudo add-apt-repository 'deb
https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ groovy main'

sudo apt update

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel

sudo winecfg  (say cancel for mono and gecko)

sudo apt install winetricks

sudo wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks -O /usr/bin/winetricks
sudo winetricks dotnet472

I did not use any prefixes, on 18.04 with stable, it installs without any
prefixes. But on say 20.04 with wine-devel, it hangs. So is this really fixed?
See bug 49897, which is still open.

So if you have something that insists on install .NET 5.7.2, then your only
option is to use Ubunutu 18.04 with wine-stable. Anything newer, and it hangs.
