i found that 4.03 refers to that dotnet40_kb2468871. I have similar problem with Video strip poker Girls. Not succeded to work the game but installed the
dotnet patch 4.03.
Solution 1:
Download NDP40-KB2468871-v2-x86.exe and/or NDP40-KB2468871-v2-x64.exe
from microsoft site. And install them with either wineprefix 32 or 64. They will be installed.
Solution 2: dotnet40_kb2468871 is available through winetricks.
Solution 3:
Copy paste: 1
I've instaleled KB2468871 to current wine-stable (wine-2.0.3) and seems to work fine for me.
Here are the steps:
Ensure that you are using 32-bit env (export WINEARCH=win32) and install dotnet40 via winetricks (winetricks dotnet40) in a fresh x86 wine.
Run NDP40-KB2468871-v2-x86.exe
The window shows an error message ("KB2468871v2 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer."). Keep this window open.
Copy the directory generated by the installer to a new directory (setup, for example). The directory exists directly under C:. For example, if the directory's name is e0118ff86cf108d878 then do cp -a .wine/drive_c/e0118ff86cf108d878 .wine/drive_c/setup .
Close the installer's window.
Install the patch directly by msiexec.exe. Running wine .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/msiexec.exe /p C:\setup\NDP40-KB2468871.msp would suffice.
