Trying to run an application under Wine and I'm getting this error:
Code:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies
I've Googled and followed a good number of threads, but all seem to agree I need to ensure I have Mono installed - which I do. Any suggestions? "8-[

Ah. My apologies. I thought the problem was self-explanatory, in that it appears to be a missing Microsoft component. As I have not been able to find a solution from any of the links Google gave me, I suspect is it currently insoluble. Perhaps I will install it on WinXP running in a box, although it goes against the grain. "8-)

Thanks AwesomeMachine. I have not used WineTricks for years and - boy - has it grown up! I was able to apply some useful tweaks, but sadly none solved my problem. Good to know how useful it is now anyway.
