Installation

Unlike winecfg, winetricks is not integrated into WINE. There's no problem with this, because it's really just a script file, and you can easily download and use it on various distributions. Today, many distributions package winetricks. You can also download the packaged version as long as you like. However, some packages may be old, so this guide will use scripts, which are generic and up-to-date. By default, its graphical interface is somewhat ugly, so if you want to personalize the interface, * install a zenity through your distribution's package manager.

Now suppose you want to configure winetricks in your / home directory. Cd here, and then wget the script.

$cd ~ $wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks

Then, give the script executable permission.

$chmod+x winetricks

Winetricks can be run from the command line, specifying what to install at the end of the line. But in most cases, you don't know the .dll file or the exact name of the font you want to install, so use a graphical interface program at this time. Starting this program is no different from other programs, except that you don't enter anything at the end.

$~ / winetricks

Winetricks-main

When the window opens * times, you will be given a menu with "View help" View help and "install Application" Install an application options. In general, we choose the "choose default wineprefix" Select the default wineprefix, which will be your main option. Others can be used, but they are not recommended. Next, click "OK" and you will go to the WINE prefix configuration menu, where you can do everything you want to do with winetricks.

Font

The winetricks font menu

Fonts have always been important, and some applications can't load properly without fonts. Winetricks can easily install many commonly used Windows fonts. In the configuration menu, select the "install fonts" Install a font radio button, and then click "OK".

Then you will get a list of fonts, all with corresponding check boxes. It's hard to know exactly what font you need, so we usually decide which font to use on a per-app basis, we can first install a plug-in corefonts, which contains the fonts set by most applications in Windows systems. It is also very easy to install, so you can try it.

To install corefonts, select the appropriate check box, then click "OK", and you will see a prompt similar to that under Windows, and the font will be installed. After completing the installation of the plug-in, you will return to the previous menu interface. The next step is to install the other plug-ins you need, with the same steps.

.dll files and components

The winetricks dll menu

Winetricks is also easy to install .dll files and other components under Windows. If you need to install, select "install Windows DLL or component" Install a Windows DLL or component on the menu page, and then click "OK".

The window takes you to another menu interface that contains the available dll and other Windows components. Select in the appropriate check box and click "OK". The script will download the component of your choice and then install it through the normal installation process of Windows. Follow the prompts as installed on the Windows machine. There may be an error message. Many times, the Windows installer will report an error, but you will then receive a message from the winetricks window that it is bypassing the problem. This is normal. Because of the interdependencies between components, you may or may not see information about a successful installation. Just make sure that your options are still selected on the menu page when the installation is complete.

Registration form

WINE regedit

You don't often need to edit the corresponding value of WINE in the registry, but for some programs you do. Technically, winetricks does not provide the registry editor to users, but it is also easy to access the editor. Select "run Registry Editor" Run regedit on the menu page, click "OK", and you can open a simple registry editor. In fact, the value written to the registry is a little beyond the scope of this guide, but I would like to add that if you already know what you are doing, it is not very difficult to add a registry entry. The registry is a bit like a spreadsheet, you can fill in the correct value in the grid on the right. This is a bit too simple, but that's the way it is. You can find exactly what you need to fill in or edit in WINE Appdp at the address below.
