Description

winetricks is an easy way to work around common problems in Wine.

       It  provides simple commands to tweak Wine settings, download and install missing Windows DLLs and fonts,
       or install various applications with appropriate workarounds for the current version of Wine.

       It can be used via GUI or command line.  The command-line mode is intended both for interactive  use  and
       as a building block in fancier Wine frontends and in automated regression testing.

       winetricks with no arguments displays a GUI using either Zenity or Kdialog.

Environment Variables

       Wine checks several environment variables on startup:

       WINE   If set, this specifies which wine binary to use by default

       WINESERVER
              If set, this specifies which wineserver to use by default

       WINEPREFIX
              If set, this specifies the location of the default .wine directory ( usually $HOME/.wine ).

       XDG_CACHE_HOME
              If set, this is path  to  system's  user  data  cache  (default:  $HOME/.cache)  W_CACHE  path  to
              Winetricks' user data cache (default: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/winetricks}
