To use a Common Lanaguage Runtime (.NET Framework or Mono) as the runner in a feed:
<command name="run" path="myapp.exe"> <runner interface="https://apps.0install.net/dotnet/clr.xml"/> </command> If you wish to use the MONO_PATH variable to specify external dependencies in a feed you can use monopath-emulator:
<command name="run" path="myapp.exe"> <runner interface="https://apps.0install.net/dotnet/clr-monopath.xml"/> </command> <requires interface="http://example.com/mylib.xml"> <environment name="MONO_PATH" insert="."/> </requires> To use the full version of .NET Framework as the runner in a feed:
<command name="run" path="myapp.exe"> <runner interface="https://apps.0install.net/dotnet/framework.xml"/> </command> To use either the Client Profile or the full version of .NET Framework as the runner in a feed:
<command name="run" path="myapp.exe"> <runner interface="https://apps.0install.net/dotnet/framework-client-profile.xml"/> </command> To use Mono as the runner in a feed:
<command name="run" path="myapp.exe"> <runner interface="https://apps.0install.net/dotnet/mono.xml"/> </command>
