To download Winetricks, you can find the package here: http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks [Right Click - Save As]
or download it using the following command:
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
Once downloaded, you can run the program by:
sh winetricks
Or you can install it by changing the permissions on it, and moving it to the /usr/local/bin directory:
chmod +x winetricks && sudo mv winetricks /usr/local/bin
You will now be able to run the application by just typing in winetricks
When running the command from the terminal, a graphical user interface will appear for you to select what libraries it is that you want to install. If you know what libraries it is that you need installing, then you can run a command like the following to speed things up a little:
winetricks corefonts
If you have any problems whilst running this application, then please do leave a comment :)
Since you brought it up...I'm trying to use the vcrun2005 package on winetricks, and I'm getting some strange feedback:

It would appear it cannot find my account name, and fails in some kind of manifest and win32 install. The program this is supposed to fix fails as well. Any ideas?
