dotnet installation #310

Closed frostworx closed 2 years ago

frostworx commented 2 years ago

Short problem description in the DotNet wiki ~~While rewriting several Vortex functions a generic working installDotNet48 function was added to stl (not released yet)~~

A clean (as possible) solution for installing dotnet48 using proton is required.

This could be added at least to all supported 3rd party programs, which use an own Compatdata/Wineprefix like

but might be also added as a generic install option for every Compatdata/Wineprefix of any game.

Running custom user-installed programs depending on DotNet should be pretty simple then and also allow f.e. to use the UniversalUE4Unlocker gui or maybe also use Vortex and Mod-Organizer 2 directly in the game pfx without any restrictions.

Nope, as this requires a specific proton/wine version - won't risk breaking game prefixes by mixing proton versions

Vortex works fine with the installDotNet function, but MO2 doesn't. Looks like the dotnet installation is not 100% clean (has NETFXRepair.exe).

Nope, Vortex works 99%, but it can't extract downloaded mods. https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch/issues/306. Very likely this is a dotnet issue as well...

frostworx commented 2 years ago

Vanilla wine-6.16 seems to work fine with winetricks dotnet48, so the custom installDotNet will be removed in favor of switching automatically to a compatible vanilla wine version (when using a custom compatdata, so at least for Vortex and MO2)

Just updated DotNet TL;DR: The only valid options I currently see

frostworx commented 2 years ago

will use self rolled https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch-tweaks/releases/tag/Proton-6.17-STL-1 at least until this works with official proton

frostworx commented 2 years ago

With Vortex and MO2 seemingly working fine with this solution, I'll close this issue.

The Vortex rewrite is pretty much feature complete. Maybe some more changes to the Mod Organizer 2 (https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch/issues/304) implementation (they share many functions now :)) and then I'll probably push the monster commit somewhere in the 1st third of October. Any fixable reported issue will make it into the end of October major release (when I find the time)
