winetricks error when trying to install

I am mainly looking to install IE, but I have tried it on other packages, and I get the same error.  Here's my console output.  Anyone know what's going on?

$ winetricks
------------------------------------------------------
You're using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX, most of winetricks hasn't been fixed for win64 yet. You can force a 32-bit WINEPREFIX by using WINEARCH=win32.
------------------------------------------------------
$ WINEARCH=win32 winetricks
wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/garnpipebear/.wine' is a 64-bit installation.
wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/garnpipebear/.wine' is a 64-bit installation.
------------------------------------------------------
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string
------------------------------------------------------
$ wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' 
C:\Program Files

I'm guessing it's a problem with the 32/64 bit installation issue.  Has anyone else run into this issue that can help me out? Thanks!

Re: winetricks error when trying to install

I'll have to check it out.  Though I may have changed my mind on installing it.  I ran into this problem trying to install the Curse Client.  However, when I actually got WoW running, I discovered I'm getting *horrible* FPS so I may just stick with running all of it in Winblows.
