How to get rid of Wine Gecko Installer?

Hi,

Sometimes (maybe after upgrades or whatever), wine wants to run  Wine Gecko Installer, which has a slow download etc... Very slow and annoying.

I've done it many times already, and don't want or need this. How can I make Wine never ask this anymore?

Is there a way to make wine just work immediately after an upgrade? It's also doing configuration and stuff everytime after that. Why can't it do all that stuff during pacman upgrade if it's so needed (and this gecko thing be part of the pacman package too, the arch servers are WAAAAAY faster than whatever Wine's gecko installer is using)?

Thanks!

Make the appropriate gecko file available, e.g. I've collected them:

ll /usr/share/wine/gecko/
total 88580
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  8119486 May 10  2011 wine_gecko-1.0.0-x86.cab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  8868851 May 10  2011 wine_gecko-1.1.0-x86.cab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12604928 May 10  2011 wine_gecko-1.2.0-x86.msi
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13609984 Aug 27  2011 wine_gecko-1.3-x86.msi
