  - Install winetricks and wine <code>sudo apt-get install winetricks</code> (this will also install wine as a dependancy)
  - even though the above command installed winetricks, replace it with the newest version as download url's might have changed etc: <code>sudo wget http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/winetricks -O /usr/bin/winetricks</code>
  - if you are running a **64bit Ubuntu version** you must install the 32bit libraries needed to run wine in 32bit mode first: <code>cd /tmp/
wget https://raw.github.com/spaetzlecode/getlibs/master/getlibs
sudo chown root:root getlibs
sudo chmod +x getlibs
sudo mv -n getlibs /usr/local/bin
sudo /usr/local/bin/getlibs -p gnome-keyring:i386
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/ 
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so
</code>
  - if you are running a **64bit Linux**, create a wine 32 bit prefix. i had some problems when i created a second prefix with 32bit.. since i don't need a 64 bit prefix anyway, i simply delted my .wine directory first <code>rm -rf /home/username/.wine</code>, and then recreated a 32bit prefix in .wine. (don't copy/paste, replace username with your user home directory name and use a direcotry other than .wine if .wine still exists and you want to keep your 64bit prefix. the directory must not exist yet!): <code>WINEPREFIX='/home/username/.wine' WINEARCH='win32' wine 'wineboot'</code> 
  - run <code>winecfg</code> and simply click OK when it pops up
  - run <code>winetricks dotnet30sp1</code> and follow the instructions (download the dotnet stuff and copy it to the folder they say. 
  - now re-run the command <code>winetricks dotnet30sp1</code> which will now install dotnet 2.0. it will then ask you to download yet another file and place it in a folder it created for you. do just that and re-run <code>winetricks dotnet30sp1</code>
  - run <code>winetricks gdiplus</code>
