    Do the following to install wine-mono:

    1. Download wine-mono.msi from the official WineHQ site.
    2. Type wine64 uninstaller.
    3. Press install from the uninstaller GUI and select the downloaded .msi package.
    4. Done!

  2. Installing .NET instead should work as well. For example by the following commands in a terminal:

    sudo apt-get install winetricks
winetricks dotnet45

  3. Other answers were not working for me on 18.04 LTS with winehq-stable package.

    The workaround I found was to recreate wine32 and wine64 prefixes and install wine-mono on that with the automatic prompt.

    
    # Create dir for 32 bit prefix
    mkdir ~/.wine32
    # destroy default configuration (64 bit prefix)
    rm -rf ~/.wine 

    # Initial setup (create prefixes)
    WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine32" WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot
    WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" WINEARCH=win64 wine64 wineboot

    # To install dotnet35 on 32-bit prefix
    WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine32" WINEARCH=win32 winetricks dotnet35

  4. You can easily download and configure with Synaptic Package Manager :

    • open Synaptic and search for msitools
    • mark for installation and click apply.

  5. You might want to copy /root/.wine to your HOME.

    In my case, I got error "C:\\windows\\system32\\winemenubuilder.exe" not found, which was interpreted as Wine Mono is not installed.

    I can find the exe file in /root/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/winemsibuilder.exe, but I was not running as root.

    Copying .wine directory solved my problem.
