Dotnet462

[Ronna Bordelon]

Im wanting to see if I can run an app call Bible by Olive Tree that is made for Windows 10 and Mac. I've gone to the Olive Tree website and clicked on download for the Windows version and got the below messages. I can't find an .exe file in the Files folders. Does this mean I can't download or use the Bible by Olive Tree app on Zorin?

Your download may be in the Home folder - just open your Files and it will default there. Alternatively, it may be in the Downloads subfolder within the Home folder - can't miss that one either once you're in Home.

I tried downloading to see what I get and it asks me to sign into a Microsoft account, so I can't mimic what you were downloading.

But once you find the file, just double-click the .exe and Windows App Support will do the rest.

At Windows Bible Study and the Bible for PC Windows- BibleReader: Mobilize Your Bible Study on Windows - Olive Tree Bible Software there is a download for the Windows app called BibleStudySetup_6.11.exe that is linked to the Bible by Olive Tree app. I went back into the Microsoft Store and tried to download the Bible by Olive Tree app but I can't find an .exe file in Windows 10 for it. I've emailed Olive Tree support to see if they can show me where to find an .exe file for Bible by Olive Tree.

In the meantime I tried installing the BibleStudySetup_6.1.1.exe file and following the instructions to install Windows App Support as you suggested (thanks!) This seemed to almost work! I opened the BibleStudySetup_6.1.1.exe file with Install Windows Application and followed the prompts to install Wine Gecko Installer and Wine Mono Installer. I got a message saying the Windows App Support was successfully installed. I then started the Bible Study 6 Setup installation, but it stalled when installing Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2. I retried installing it after a reboot and got "Setup Failed. 0x800713ec - (null). Do you have any suggestions for what I could try next? Thanks!

Just as an aside, I also recommend looking at: Bible by Olive Tree Alternatives for Linux AlternativeTo - Xiphos seems to be popular if you don't mind considering that. It can be installed by searching for xiphos in Synaptic. Sorry, I know this isn't helpful toward fixing the .NET problem but rather is an alternative, however, I don't know where to go from here.

Hi @Aravisian. I'm new to Linux so please be patient with me! I went to bottom left (apps menu?) and searched for Winetricks. I don't know how to open it as GUI. Please see the screenshots attached for the message on Winetricks. Can you please explain how I'd use Winetricks to delete all apps and data? Thanks.

Btw, when you install the Olive tree application, does it give you an option (checkbox?) to choose whether or not to install .NET? Some programs allow you to use a checkbox whether or not to install the .NET, although I'm guessing this one doesn't but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks for all your efforts to help! I really appreciate it. I've got a lot of my own notes, highlighting and a few books I've paid for in Olive Tree, which syncs well between Windows 10 and my Android ph. I'll look at those alternatives you linked to, but it's not looking like Linux will be a good fit for me, which is such a pity

I believe what Aravisian was asking was to do winetricks -q dotnet462 after removing everything (which you have now done) and then again trying the Olive Tree install. If you don't mind trying that one more time.

When I suggest opening in GUI, this means to open it in your Familiar Graphical Window and when I suggest using CLI, this means to opena nd run an app in terminal. Running in CLI (terminal) means that the app does not have a Familiar Window with icons and checkboxes and entries - it is all Text In A Terminal. For example, when you run "sudo apt update", you are running the app APT (Advanced Package Tool) in CLI. It does not open a window with buttons on it.

Linux/*nix is are the most popular operating system in the world, under the hood of Android, IOS, Mac OSX and many other GUIs. Aion already make a version for Android but not *nix desktops, go figure.! The devs are lazy, NCsoft owns GuildWars which has an official port on Wine for Mac OSX and it runs well.

I had Aion running on Linux for years, but it broke when NCsoft introduced the 3rd. party anti-hacking program which wrongly detected Linux as a hack. I noticed that the frame rate under Wine was a lot lower than under windows, but far less graphics related errors and crashes, especially during sieges. So running Aion with Wine is a worthwhile things to do.

@MayBlue-DN You need winetricks dotnet462 and wine-staging 5.19 (out few days ago) due to the resolution of the following bug: _bug.cgi?id=49857. The .Net 4.6.2 seems mandatory for NCLauncher2, mono is not enough.

Though I faced another issue later on, the application still crashes after a successful login.
