Hello,

Installing shared versions of Mono & Gecko is currently not automatic.

For MSI files, wine just prompts the user and that prompt can be automatically
approved. There is currently no switch/environment setting to tell wine to
install the shared mono/gecko when that prompt pops up (not that I know of).

How can the Testbot detect mono & gecko version changes and install the shared
version?

Also, for me, updating prefixes can take from 5s up to 1m30s depending of
bitness (64 bits takes more time that 32 bits), wine branch (staging takes
longer than plain wine) and prefix contents, while I'm always using shared
mono/gecko installs.

Regards.
