[SOLVED] winetricks arch64

nixIT · 2011-05-12 02:48:02

Hello all,

recently installed Arch64 (new to 64bit), and would now like to install winetricks so I can install vbrun and direct x to play some games, namely RIFT.

I can install winetricks, however when I run it form the terminal (can't find the menu option under XFCE), I am not getting a window that I'm used to seeing, I get a window with the following options:

( ) View Help
( ) Install and App
( ) Install a Benchmark
( ) Install a game
( ) Select the default wineprefix
( ) Enable Silent install
( ) Show Broken apps (e.g. those with DRM problems)

I looked under install an app and don't see any of the packages that I'm used to seeing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

maybe you refer to this ?

I think what you're looking for will be under "Select the default wineprefix" and "Install windows components/DLLs" but I'd recommend that you take a read of the sections of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wine about 64bit wine if you haven't already as you may need a 32bit wineprefix to get stuff to run correctly.

I am experimenting on my work machine, which is Ubuntu, and it looks like winetricks has changed since the last time I ran it, which was a few months ago. I need to select "Select a default wineprefix", after I do that, I am prompted with the window I am used to seeing.

I will give this a shot on my arch box at home this evening.
