How about installing .NET Framework 4 KB2468871 via winetricks?

This update is needed for installation of 3ds Max 2013.

I tried to install it directly in command line: wine 
NDP40-KB2468871-v2-x86.exe, and got a message:

"KB2468871v2 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your 
computer."

PS dotnet35sp1 and dotnet40 were successfully installed with WINEARCH=win32
wine-1.5.13
winetricks 20120912
kubuntu 12.04.1 x64

"KB2468871v2 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your 
computer."

That's probably intentional from Microsoft.

If it's still happening in wine-1.6rc2,
please file a bug at bugs.winehq.org for that...

Have you tried other versions of 3ds Max, btw?

doesn't look too encouraging, but maybe it's out of date.

I've instaleled KB2468871 to current wine-stable (wine-2.0.3) and seems to work fine for me.
Here are the steps:

0. Ensure that you are using 32-bit env (export WINEARCH=win32) and install dotnet40 via winetricks (winetricks dotnet40) in a fresh x86 wine.
1. Run NDP40-KB2468871-v2-x86.exe
2. The window shows an error message ("KB2468871v2 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer."). Keep this window open.
3. Copy the directory generated by the installer to a new directory (setup, for example). The directory exists directly under C:\. For example, if the directory's name is e0118ff86cf108d878 then do cp -a .wine/drive_c/e0118ff86cf108d878 .wine/drive_c/setup .
4. Close the installer's window.
5. Install the patch directly by msiexec.exe. Running wine .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/msiexec.exe /p C:\\setup\\NDP40-KB2468871.msp would suffice.
