[SOLVED] Winetricks not Working

I have the latest versions of winetricks and cabextract installed from the repositories.
Steam under wine stopped working all of a sudden so I installed it in a Windows VM and copied it over to the Arch system.
Now, when I try to install the requirements for Borderlands 2 as I did last week, winetricks gives an error.

These are the packages that need to be installed with winetricks:  d3dx9 d3dx10 vcrun2010 physx d3dx11_43 d3dx9_43 directx9 dotnet40 vcrun2008 xact
I can install most of them one by one, but whenever I try to install any of the d3dx or directx packages winetricks stops with this error:

executing w_do_call d3dx9
Executing load_d3dx9
Executing cabextract -q -d /home/sub/.b/dosdevices/c:/windows/temp/_d3dx9 -L -F *d3dx9*x86* /home/sub/.cache/winetricks/directx9/directx_Jun2010_redist.exe
/home/sub/.cache/winetricks/directx9/directx_Jun2010_redist.exe: no valid cabinets found
------------------------------------------------------
Note: command 'cabextract -q -d /home/sub/.b/dosdevices/c:/windows/temp/_d3dx9 -L -F *d3dx9*x86* /home/sub/.cache/winetricks/directx9/directx_Jun2010_redist.exe' returned status 1.  Aborting.
------------------------------------------------------

I did this a week ago and it worked fine, and I am using the same method except that I didn't install steam in Wine. The wine, winetricks, and cabextract versions are the same as they were previously.

Re: [SOLVED] Winetricks not Working

Remove the cache file, to re-download it - maybe it's corrupted.

rm /home/sub/.cache/winetricks/directx9/directx_Jun2010_redist.exe
