winetricks - manage virtual Windows environments using Wine
winetricks [options] [verb ... ]
winetricks is an easy way to work around common problems in
Wine.
It provides simple commands to tweak Wine settings, download and
install missing Windows DLLs and fonts, or install various games or apps
with appropriate workarounds for the current version of Wine.
It can be used via GUI or command line. The command-line mode is
intended both for interactive use and as a building block in fancier Wine
frontends and in automated regression testing.
winetricks with no arguments displays a GUI using either
Zenity or Kdialog.

- Set country code to CC and don't detect your IP address when retrying
downloads

- WINESERVER
- If set, this specifies which wineserver to use by default
- WINEPREFIX
- If set, this specifies the location of the default .wine directory (
usually $HOME/.wine ).
- XDG_CACHE_HOME
- If set, this is path to system's user data cache (default: $HOME/.cache)
W_CACHE path to Winetricks' user data cache (default:
$XDG_CACHE_HOME/winetricks}
