This is specific to .NET or Microsoft's interpetation of Java.  The
applications database and winetricks have methods of installing this
package.  I don't know which one you need, but I would try .NET 2.0 and
then .NET 3.0.  .NET 3.5 may be installable as well.

I would get another Java application as they are supposed to be
'Operating System' neutral.  Swing and AWT give the same functionality,
if not better, than using .NET.
