Yo, I have the same system and I can help tomorrow when I am less drunk

Thank you!

Hello everyone, and Happy New Years,

I am sorry if this topic has already been posted, but I am having an issue with running Adventure Game Studios on my HP Elite Book running Ubuntu 18.04.
I have the .exe file installed and running from wine, but when trying to open the application I am only getting the splash screen. Viewing logs I see multiple error messages:

Unable to get info on application://ags Editor.desktop

0009:fixme:exe:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100

This computer was handed down to me with a bad hdd, so I installed a solid state and upgraded to 8gb RAM. I didn't want to pay for Win10 since this was an older machine, and I was able to run everything else I needed on Linux (including RPG Maker VX Ace from Wine), but I am having an issue with AGS.

Even though I had selected to install the .NET framework from the .exe install, I thought this may have still been a .NET issue. I attempted to install the newest version from Microsoft but it was not downloading, so I tried installing 4.5. Still had an issue installing from runtime and from direct download. So I tried the following command:

Wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -0 packages-microsoft-prod.deb
Sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
Sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-4.5

I received the following:

E: Unable to locate package dotnet-sdk-4.5
E: Couldn't find any package by glob ‘dotnet-sdk-4.5'
E Couldn't find any package by regex ‘dotnet-sdk-4.5'

However, the install did work with older dotnet-sdk-3.1

I am also, due to this being my first ‘real time' with Unbuntu/Linux, unable to find a way to uninstall the AGS Editor (along with AGS Manual and the two Visit the AGS wine launchers) from the Applications feature.

Would anyone please be able to assist? Thank you in advance for reading this.
