How to install winetricks and Wine 1.3
The wine that comes by default with most linux distributions is rather old, so for best results, you should probably install the latest beta version of wine-1.3 as described in http://www.winehq.org/download/ You can also watch a video showing how to do this on Ubuntu, or read Dan's Scale 9X presentation for an introduction to Wine and Winetricks. (See also FeaturedGames for videos about how to install games with Winetricks.) You can download winetricks from http://winetricks.org/winetricks . If you need a very recent change that isn't released yet, you can get it from http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/winetricks In Ubuntu 10.10, as of wine-1.3.14, installing wine1.3 should also install winetricks and winetricks-alpha, and they should show up in the Applications / Wine menu. This is the best way to go, as then both wine and winetricks will be autoupdated when there are new releases. If your distribution doesn't bundle an up-to-date winetricks, you can download it from http://winetricks.org/winetricks and install it in /usr/bin, e.g. rm -f winetricks wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks sudo cp winetricks /usr/bin sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/winetricks but then you have to repeat that if you want to get updates for winetricks. |

Hi guys! I'm trying to install WineTricks? on Macosx, Command "wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks" doesn't work for me. Is there another command?
Thank you!
You could just open http://winetricks.org/winetricks in your browser, and save it. If that doesn't work, try:
in Terminal.
I get the following error when trying to run winetricks.
-bash-3.00$ winetricks /usr/bin/winetricks: !: not found /usr/bin/winetricks: /dlls/adobeair.vars: cannot create /usr/bin/winetricks: /dlls/adobeair.vars: cannot create -bash-3.00$
What version of Linux are you using?
dotnet20 should be working fine in winetricks-20110429.
hello, could someone help me plz? I am using RHEL6 OC, I installed wine 1.2.3. I have to install MDAC. for that reason I installed winetricks but it fails to run. When I run % sh winetricks I've got this error:
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles?%' returned unexpanded string... do you own the parent of /root/.wine ? what I am doing wrong? thanks
i have the same problem
I think that happens when your .wine directory is too far out of sync with your version of wine. Try renaming your .wine directory.
Wow-- it sucks no one's provided a definitive reply here-- since May. I'll do my best, but this is far from definitive. I only mean to to? help.
RE: Issues of "root", and "you don't own ./.wine" sort of msgs. What i'm about to provide is not authoritative, but I do have experience across Fedora, openSUSE, and "Debian" in the flavours of several different 'Buntu's [i.e. xubuntu, lubuntu]
The first thing which comes to mind, reading the commentary posted above, @ Apr 30, 2011: Wine is installed at /home/MainLoginProfileUser?/.wine/drive_c/etc?
As WinE doesn't "talk to Linux" (as far as I know, that is), it is not logical to operate on WinE, necessariy, as "root" (ie. sudo stuff does something blah). I too have attempted to operate on something WinE-ish, only to be met with complaints about the fact that /home/root/.wine/stuff? does not exist, which is of course true. WinE doesn't propagate anything into the "root's profile" containers. In other words, it's only natural the system is going to complain about actions attempted on paths which don't exist.
I realize this is going to sound-- for lack of better terms-- stupid, but I really haven't much else to provide on the matter. Like I said, it's speaking from experience. I wouldn't provide commentary if I'm not confident about it, and I'm the sort of guy who says crazy shit all the time-- so, the point is-- it's kind of common sense, i think, once you look at it from that /home/NotRootUsername?/.wine/ perspective-- things might begin to pan-out. Granted, it may be I've forgotten inherent difficulties perhaps I somehow bypass nowadays. I do recall, for example when I first discovered WinE @ FedoraCore? circa 2005, steps in configuring an operable "WinE" as less "point-n-click" as it is now (i.e. not looking at dates, presently, i don't think "Winetricks" was available back then, although some packages existed install req'd, incl dependencies probably?, such as-- what's that-- "Ie's for Linux".
(:aside: RE 'IEs4Linux', i authored something about it on NoviceNotes?.Net . it's likely not quite relevant, but might provide the insight the Reader needs for the epiphany he or she has on the horizon.)
Best wishes! J.S.
I think I fixed one cause of that message with http://code.google.com/p/winetricks/source/detail?r=656
There may be others. If the problem happens with winetricks 20110629 or later, please file a bug.
Hi! I've done what you said. Even than, I got no Winetricks' options when I try to create costum prefixes!! I've try so many times!! I need "mdac25" and "vcrun6" to install the software DIVA-GIS on my Mac OSX. What can I do?? Thanks :)
adriane, try this. This is a command line option that works on my Linux machine, I think it should be the same for you too, but seeing as you are using a Mac, maybe not.
1) Open the terminal and navigate to a download location (doesn't really matter where) 2) type this into the terminal: wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks - something will download, wait for it to finish. It should be called 'winetricks' 3) Install the desired packages by typing this onto the command line: - sh winetricks mdac25 vcrun6
If it fails to execute, you may need to alter the execute permission of winetricks. Usually (sudo chmod u+x winetricks) for linux.
Also, I think the mdac25 package is out of date, try mdac28 instead.
Good luck - DIVA-GIS is running on my Ubuntu 11.04 system under Wine! :D However, I cannot report on stability atm.

I have a problem with a wineskin, I can not install ... rather, I do not understand how to install, because is not well understood because it says I use Ubuntu and Mac OSX Snow Leaopard if I can explain better appreciate it ... thank you very much
Hey I am using Mac lion, I got winebottler but winetricks are empty, I am trying to open a .exe file. How do I do it? Thank you.. I cant seem to get the winetricks on my winebottler.. Btw I am new to this.. HELp!! :) Thanks
@chappy12 , I also use lion and have the same problem, I need to install Ms Office 2007 btw, please instruct me how to do so, really need to install the software only because of one software (ms access) i need to install it.

sha1sum mismatch! Rename /home/edition/.cache/winetricks/flash/install_flash_player_ax.exe and try again.
When using wine-1.3.28 with wine-gecko-1.3-1 running Mandriva Linux 2010.2 with kernel-2.6.33.7-desktop-2mnb
My system consists of an ASUS P4B533? motherboard with an Intel Pentium 4 running at 2.4 GHz, 2 Gigs of DDR Memory, ATI R420 JM X3? Graphics Card, Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N.
The problem that I'm experiencing is when I use the latest version of winetricks to load any Windows libraries, which results in the following error message:
$> sh winetricks corefonts tahoma
...
Please install gecko in /usr/share/wine per http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko. http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-gecko.sh is an easy script to do that. Then you should never need to do 'winetricks gecko' again.
I have done this request and double checked it several times but winetricks keeps displaying the above message. I am trying to install AutoCAD R14.
Thanks
hi guys, what version of Wine will be an opportunity to set-up all game in windows
To all those who can't install winetricks on CentOS\RedHat? or Mac. The reason is that the latest Wine version on these OSes is 1.2.3. winetricks does not support this version. So either use OS, that supports Wine 1.3.x, e.g. Ubuntu. Or install required package manually. What worked for me (CentOS 6, Wine 1.2.3): I needed to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package. 1. Backup your ~/.wine directory. 2. Download it at http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=29 or Google for the package you need. 3. wine vcredist_x86.exe Done.
Hi i get this error when trying to install wine tricks:
c-67-201-237-163:~ Wesley$ sudo cp winetricks /usr/bin Password: cp: winetricks: No such file or directory c-67-201-237-163:~ Wesley$
this is after I do the previous commands listed, I'm on mac lion
the problem is that as we are on os x, the folder use is not what we use, try using "~/bin" instead
This worked fro in in Ubuntu 11-10
1. Open the terminal and navigate to a download location (doesn't really matter where) 2. type this into the terminal: wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks - something will download, wait for it to finish. It should be called 'winetricks' 3. Install the desired packages by typing this onto the command line: - sh winetricks mdac25 vcrun6
How do I install winetricks?
Winetricks doesn't show up for me at all. Doesn't matter which command I try, this is all I get: cp: winetricks: No such file or directory
I KNOW I've downloaded it and I know where it is.
I'm running Mac OS X Snow Leopard by the way.
Okay never mind, that works now. Now the problem is that it can't find the wineserver, apparently?
