I tried running the latest version of PrePoMax under wine. I am using Fedora 43. From the command line, I get the following error:

```auto
\~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/PrePoMax/PrePoMax v2.5.1 dev$ wine PrePoMax.exe
002c:fixme:winediag:loader_init wine-staging 11.0 is a testing version containing experimental patches.
002c:fixme:winediag:loader_init Please mention your exact version when filing bug reports on winehq.org.
0024:err:module:fixup_imports_ilonly ***mscoree.dll not found*** , IL-only binary L"PrePoMax.exe" cannot be loaded
0024:err:module:loader_init Importing dlls for L"C:\\Program Files\\PrePoMax\\PrePoMax v2.5.1 dev\\PrePoMax.exe" failed, status c0000135

```

Which version of wine should I be using? Is version 11.0 supported for PrePoMax? The error seems to be due to a missing file, mscoree.dll, which is part of .NET. I have installed .NET Framework 4.8 in the dotnet subdirectory of my wine installation.

Did you try following this procedure ? [PrePoMax fails under Linux since 2.4.4 - #20 by Matej](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/prepomax-fails-under-linux-since-2-4-4/3280/20)

Hi,

I finally managed to get some time on the PC. I killed the wineserver (wineserver -k) and followed the procedure outlined by Matej on 2026-03-06 in the thread entitled ‘[PrePoMax fails under Linux since 2.4.4](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/prepomax-fails-under-linux-since-2-4-4/3280)’

> [@PrePoMax fails under Linux since 2.4.4](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/prepomax-fails-under-linux-since-2-4-4/3280/20):
>
> `WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine_prepomax64" wineboot --init`
> 
> Open the prefix config and set the windows wersion to Windows 10
> 
> `WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine_prepomax64" winecfg`
> 
> Install .NET 4.8 into that prefix
> 
> `WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine_prepomax64" winetricks dotnet48`
> 
> Go int PrePoMAx folder and run PrePoMax.exe
> 
> `WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine_prepomax64" wine PrePoMax.exe`

I am happy to report that version 2.5.1 dev now works! The only issue is that the prefix characters have not disappeared, unlike Matej’s.
