Manually install Mono and Gecko

After you double click Add/Remove Programs, nothing happenned or prompt some error message (such as no suitable program to open Add/Remove Programs). You may need to install Mono and Gecko, I used following steps.

Open `control.exe` in system32

Go to My Computer -> C: -> Windows -> system32, find control.exe and double clicks it
Double click Add/Remove Programs

If there is no any program on the list (in the middle of Add/Remove Programs window), need to install manually.

Then, wine-gecko should show up on the Add/Remove Programs window.

Install wine-mono

Click Install button on the Add/Remove Programs window, then, It will show up file dialog. Find the winemono-support.msi file which download in previous step, and select & open it.

Then, Wine Mono Windows Support should show up on the Add/Remove Programs window.
