Trouble with Winetricks/Net 2.0

So I am trying to play "Command and Conquer Red Alert" on my Macbook. I have Crossover and was able to install the game, however, the website I downloaded Red Alert from says the following:

[i]Note: NET 2.0 is needed. You may want to use Winetricks to install it.
For Mac this is a bit harder, so if you're looking for easy way to do this, you may want to check CrossOver.[/i]

I downloaded some sort of "Net framework", but I have no idea how to administer it? I tried installing the software onto the Red Alert bottle I just created, but that did not seem to work? I may have explained that really bad, but any help would be appreciated. Here is a link to the website where I downloaded the game:

I hope this is allowed, but if you go here: http://paulthetall.com/ , you can download a wineskin wrapper that 'll probably get your game going...
Go to game ports/strategy games and download the wrapper for your game.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not really looking to download more programs. I was hoping someone could give me instructions on how to install this Net 2.0/Winetricks .exe.

There is a crosstie that automates the install of .NET 2.0 here:
