Install Msi with Wine

When I try to install an MSI, either with start, msiexec or nothing, it tells me that there is no Windows program configured to open this type of file

And it tells me too that MS.NET F4.5 needs to be installed, but I already have wine-mono installed

Heres some logs :

General approach

An MSI must be installed using msiexec:

wine msiexec /i foo.msi
