Default WineTricks

Winetricks is a very quick and simple way of installing a number of different Windows Runtime Libraries that are often needed to run Windows applications within Wine.

You can download the Winetricks package here: http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks [Right Click - Save As]
or download it using the following command:
Code:
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
Once downloaded, you can run the program by:
Code:
sh winetricks
Or you can install it by changing the permissions on it, and moving it to the /usr/local/bin directory:
Code:
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:
Code:
winetricks corefonts
