winetricks(1) manage virtual windows environments using wine

SYNOPSIS

winetricks [options] [verb ... ]

DESCRIPTION

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 commandline. The commandline 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.

Don't check whether packages were already installed
--gui
Show gui diagnostics even when driven by commandline
-k, --keep_isos
Cache isos (allows later installation without disc)
--no-clean

--no-isolate
Don't install each app or game in its own bottle
-q, --unattended
Don't ask any questions, just install automatically
-r, --ddrescue
Retry hard when caching scratched discs
--showbroken
Even show verbs that are currently broken in wine
-v, --verbose
Echo all commands as they are executed
-h, --help
Display this message and exit
