[Mono-list] Windows .NET application

[Martin Greig]

Hi, I've scoured the documentation but can't seem to find the answer to 
this one.  I'm not even sure if it's a Mono or a Wine question, but here 
goes:

All my other necessary Windows apps work fine with Crossover Office, but I 
have this one must-have app that won't install; or at least, it tries to 
install .NET Framework V1.1, and fails.  This seems to be standard 
experience with CX Office and .NET.  So, I wonder if Mono is the way 
forward -- but how?

If I try "mono setup.EXE" I get "cannot open assembly setup.EXE", and if I 
try the same "mono app.exe" in the program's directory of my Windows 
partition I get the same error.  Is there some special installation trick 
needed?  Or some special combination of Wine and Mono?  Or is Mono just 
not ready for this yet?  As a non-programming relative newbie most of the 
Mono documentation is way beyond me.

TIA
