Hi,
Sorry you are experiencing problems, is the same problem present with all (.NET, W32, W64) versions?
So far I received 1 other bug report about the .NET version not starting, unsure which OS the user is on yet.
BTW, you can also install winetricks and then isntall .NET. What I did was run "winetricks dotnet45" and after that, I can run the .NET versions with just a "wine Char...."
Correction...
It seems SpritePad 3.52 is not working for me with .NET in Wine. However, the W64 version works with:
wine64 SpritePadC64Pro_W64.exe
Not sure why the .NET version doesn't work but it does with CharPad.
