WINETRICKS(1)

NAME
winetricks - 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 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.

OPTIONS

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

--force
    Don't check whether packages were already installed

--gui
    Show GUI diagnostics even when driven by the command-line interface

--isolate
    Install each app or game in its own bottle

-k, --keep_isos
    Cache ISOs (allows later installation without disc)

--no-isolate
    Don't install each app or game in its own bottle (default)

--no-clean
    Don't delete temp directories (useful during debugging)

-q, --unattended
    Don't ask any questions, just install automatically

-r, --ddrescue
    Retry hard when caching scratched discs

-v, --verbose
    Echo all commands as they are executed

-h, --help
    Display this message and exit
