Hi Austin, sorry for delaying my answer. Winetricks was telling me very prominently: "You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug." And in the source: # Winetricks is a package manager for win32 dlls and applications on posix. -> These two give the impression that winetricks is not (very good) for win64. Besides that I only experienced the .Net issue. Previously I had thought that you can install any 32-bit app in a 64-bit WoW64 prefix. Since this isn't true generally, of course winetricks can't do better. However I still wonder: is it possible to install e.g. 32-bit .Net to be used by 32-bit apps in a 64-bit prefix? > If you have reproducible issues or feature requests, please report > them to https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues I'm not sure ;) If it's not an obvious technical misunderstanding on my side I might ask above question there.
