i tried running

sudo pacman -S dotnet-runtime-8.0 

& 

sudo pacman -S dotnet-sdk-8.0 

running dotnet -v

gives me the error

Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
Possible reasons for this include:
  * You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
  * You intended to execute a .NET program, but dotnet--v does not exist.
  * You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.

wrong approach to the problem

that is not how wine works

the dotnet needs to be a Windows one - not installable via pacman or AUR
whatever is missing or needed needs to be installed via wine

many windows applications have one or multiple entries in the winehq database on how they are to be installed and so on and so forth …

not a problem you can even begin to solve via pacman and native Linux packages

It seems you might need to educate yourself on how to use WINE.

Either of these links might be a good place to start, but there are likely many more an Internet search away.

  1. What is your goal?
  2. Is your goal to develop application based on dotnet framework?
  3. Is your goal to run a windows application which requires dotnet runtime?
  4. Which application are you trying to run?

If your goal is to run a windows application using wine you need to install the support tools using wine.
