Not sure what prompted me today, but I installed Mono 1.9.2 into the LOTRO bottle and tried to start up LOTRO normally... Got the error below from LoTRO launcher. I thought it rather strange because I remember clearly it complained about ActiveX. This is somewhat new (to me)

Turbine's launcher and Mono for Windows don't get on too well, you could slowly add the missing dlls (google should find most of them) but it will still bomb out, there was a post on the wine-dev list a while back saying that someone was looking at a wine-mono bridge but I can't see it happening for a while.

I've never tried my launcher with Mono for Windows, as long as GTK# and Glade# is installed it should work (awaits next post saying it doesn't :))
