Hello

I'm running Debian 12, Playonlinux 4.3.4, Wine-version 8.0

When trying to install software via Playonlinux, first Wine version 4.0 is installed.

Then the installer attempts to install mono, but the installation fails with the following error message:

Unexpected checksum of the downloaded file. Installation of the corrupt file will be aborted.

Can this be solved? It was working some months ago, but now it isn't any more.

Thanks for your help.

 

Okay, after about a day I found a workaround myself:

1. Download mono from https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-gecko/2.47.4, be sure to download both .msi files.
2. Download gecko from https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono/8.0.0, be sure to download the .msi file.
3. Make all three msi-files executable (sudo chmod 700 *.msi)
4. Open a terminal window and execute the following command for each of the msi-files: wine start <name of file>.msi
5. Launch playonlinux, search for the program you want to install. During installation, if Playonlinux can't find mono or gecko, just ignore and start installation of your program.
6. Playonlinux should now finish the installation without an error. (finally!)

But normally, playonlinux should download and install mono and gecko automatically, but it fails with the error in the first post, so this should still be fixed. (This is why I won't mark this thread as solved)

(I made use of a numbered list, but somehow the numbers don't show up, maybe you could look into that also)
