To all who replied, Thanks. Sadly after further testing I still have very little success with Wine. When I installed WineHQ's Wine Installation, Gecko and Mono were able to be installed. I noticed a rpcss.exe (from memory) in Taskmgr. This at least allowed me to display the initial web page in

This has nothing to do with maturity. Only with the existence of someone willing to maintain it - and its dependencies if needed. They don't publish it as anything else than a Flatpak as that's by far the easiest way to make sure it works for everyone, and thus they don't officially support any oth

Hello, Absolutely no idea if it will help you solve your problem but the Archwiki has an potentially interesting tip for reverting the Debian default behavior: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wine#Prevent_installing_Mono/Gecko so, perhaps setting the WINEDLLOVERRIDES environment variable to
