Installing wine-mono doesn't seem to install mono in
wine.
From prodding around a bit it looks like the package is downloading the installer, but mono itself is never installed in wine. The package puts the installer at: /usr/share/wine/mono/wine-mono-4.7.5.msi What I observed was I installed wine and wine-mono: pacman -S wine wine-mono I then expected I'd be able to run a mono binary: wine my_dot_net_bin.exe But what I encountered was: 0009:err:mscoree:CLRRuntimeInfo_GetRuntimeHost Wine Mono is not installed I found that I could manually install mono with the installer, which fixes the issue: wine msiexec /i /usr/share/wine/mono/wine-mono-4.7.5.msi My expectation as a user however is that installing wine-mono will install mono in wine. |

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: Works as expected. We can't install it via the system package because the default wine prefix, which you are using, is present in your user folder. Even if it wasn't it doesn't make any sense installing it as the installation wouldn't propagate if you created other wine prefix. I suggest you learn a bit more about how wine works, I don't currently have the time to explain this properly.
