## 5. Extract WinMetadata
## 5. Remove Wine Mono and install .NET Framework

Bottles pre-installs **Wine Mono Windows Support**, which conflicts with .NET Framework 4.8 and can cause CLR crashes (for example `Unhandled exception: 0xe0434352`) when running the Affinity installer. [Wine Mono must be removed before installing .NET Framework 4.8](https://github.com/wine-mono/wine-mono#composition).

1. Open your bottle → **Tools** → **Legacy Wine Tools** → **Control Panel** → **Add/Remove Programs**.
2. If **Wine Mono Windows Support** is listed, select it and click **Remove**.
3. Open **Dependencies** and install **dotnet48**. The install should take several minutes; if it finishes very quickly, Wine Mono may still be present—repeat steps 1–2 and reinstall **dotnet48**.

This workaround is [documented in Bottles issue #2887](https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles/issues/2887#issuecomment-2646118028).

## 6. Extract WinMetadata

1. Download the [`WinMetadata.zip` archive file](https://archive.org/download/win-metadata/WinMetadata.zip).
2. Extract the `WinMetadata` folder from the archive into `drive_c/windows/system32`.
