Flashpoint - Wine Mono or dotNET?

hey all. i installed flashpoint based on the instructions from the official flashpoint wiki. when i tried installing a new game that came from armourgames or newgrounds the wine update window appears. it also asks to install wine dotNET but it immediately fails. installing the mono package didnt help. which dotNET package should i install from the package list in order for these games to work?

Flashpoint on their download page says that it needs Visual C++ 2015+ Redist. Did you install that? You absolutely shouldn't install 2015 (actually any version from 2015 to 2019) tho, it's ancient and superseded by vcrun2022, but it doesn't hurt to install all of them with:
Code: [Select]
# note: vcrun2022 covers vcrun2015+vcrun2019
winetricks -f -q vcrun2003 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 vcrun2022

Wine's Mono should be enough to run any dotnet app below Core 6~ as is, their wiki website says it's fine to use it, so you really shouldn't install M$ dotnet anyway until there's at least major breakage in functionality.

i installed the vcrun2022 like you said. i dont see any changes. should i reboot my machine? i can try the dotNET packages but i dont think it will break anything major like you said.
