Difficutly installing Roon 1.7 on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS using WineHQ

[BlackJack]

EDIT: Okay, I attempted a manual install and I see now that the install.sh script actually was attempting to install and was failing because I got the exact same output from my manual attempt:

Your console output just shows the normal and expected warnings.

WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine/my_roon_instance winetricks dotnet472

Omitting the the -q option as you did should actually open the original (graphical) .NET installer for any of the many .NET versions that’s going to be installed and you have to click your way through any of these. So this is a good test to see if the installation is actually working. Didn’t they show up? Can you see the configuration window if you execute the following command in a console window?

env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine/my_roon_instance wine winecfg

NOTE: The $HOME variable is most likely not defined outside of roon-on-wine.sh. You should replace it with the usual ~. I was wrong about this, $HOME is defined.

I get the wizard to install Roon but before it installs, it says that the .NET framework 4.5 must be installed.

I only know that Wine may complain about a missing mono installation. I don’t know for what reason part of the current roon-on-wine script should complain about .NET 4.5.0.

Roon 1.7 on WINE

If wine can’t find mono it complains and offers to download it for you. You can safely skip/decline that offer as roon_on_wine will install .NET (which will turn off mono anyway if present).

No installer ever runs.

What desktop are you using? Is there anything special about your setup (for e.g. dual monitor, virtual desktop) that might open the windows somewhere else outside your actual view?
