What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. dotnet40
2. Start wine

No long-term mscorsvw.exe process when Wine is used after initial .NET
Framework installation.

Workaround: .../ngen.exe executequeueditems

Mostly a nuisance problem during app installation troubleshooting or when
making a backup of a new Wine directory after third-party components are
installed (before a problematic app install is started).

(sorry for the late follow-up)

It doesn't appear to work with dotnet40 at least. I think the command line
is the problem.

If I execute "wine ngen.exe executequeueditems" then ngen loads but
eventually exits without doing much.

If I execute "wine
$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/ngen.exe
executequeueditems" then I see a bunch of sub-processes triggered that look
like pre-compiling. Subsequent executions result in it just exiting.
