"winetricks dotnet40" fails verifier because System.EnterpriseServices.Wrapper.dll missing?
With current git, when I try rm -rf .wine sh winetricks -q dotnet40 sh winetricks -q dotnet_verifier wine netfx_setupverifier.exe the verifier reports failure: ...

Many thanks, i use that since the release. But i noticed that winecfg is messed by "DLLs" like Makefile, some .a library etc. It probably doesn't hurt anything. Maybe generate the DLL list based only on folders (not folders + "root" files)? > Starting from a clean wineprefix should keep you > from having multiple > entries. Does it? > That should be fine for the intended audience. Yes. That double listed DLLs in winecfg (with asterix + without asterix) come from manually setting the DLL in winecfg and after that running winetricks setting all the dll to builtin. Unfortunatly the non-asterix verision wins, because the entries are latter in the list. So winetricks may not do what one could except (all builtin). I'm aware of that now, so again it doesn't hurt me. > I've updated winetricks (r813) to add all missing dlls and Thanks again for that. W. -- - - Reklama - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Běháte rádi?

The comment in winetricks says # Note: if you want to override even DLLs loaded with an absolute path, # you need to add an asterisk so I think it needs to be there. (Otherwise we'll miss bundled dlls.) Winetricks doesn't add it both ways, though, so I wonder how the version without the asterisk got there. Starting from a clean wineprefix should keep you from having multiple entries. Does it? That should be fine for the intended audience. I've updated winetricks (r813) to add all missing dlls and added a comment explaining how the list was generated. Thanks, Dan
winetricks & DLL overrides
Hi Dan,
i'm happy user of winetricks and thanks for all that work. Today i
found out, that i wasn't able to reveal, that apps uses some native
dll when using:
winetricks settings alldlls=builtin
further checking revealed, that winetricks(20120308) has several no
longer available dll override compared to winecfg and some are
missing, thus application uses them as native.
So i add/del dlls from override_all_dlls list based on winecfg
(1.5.3-164-gdec3d50) and the result is attached as a patch.
Probably unusable for you, because:
* no care about line length
* i do not know whether removing no longer available dll's override
is allowed (what's happen for users using old wine-1.0 and need
dlls's override no longer available in wine-1.5.3)
* shouldn’t be the dll's override in user.reg simply overwritten? As
i noticed the names are there twice - 2nd one with "*" prefix making
it confusing, which value will be used and the list in winecfg is
twice as long.
Thanks and regards,
W.

New winetricks 20110311b: winetricks is dead, long live winetricks
winetricks-20110311b is now released. Changes since winetricks-20110123 (for anyone who has not been using the alpha versions): - manages multiple wineprefixes - apps are now installed into separate wineprefixes by default - gui now split into separate pages for games, benchmarks, apps, dlls, fonts - gui now shows approximate disk requirement and install times - gui now lets you pick silent installation mode - apps that are broken (e.g. have drm that wine can't handle) are now hidden by default, gui has a button to reveal them - 70 games added, including Dragon Age II demo, Starcraft II demo, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 2 demo - many updates and bugfixes Changes since winetricks-alpha-20110310: - mdac25, mdac27 removed, as downloads no longer available - mdac28: updated to sp1 - sizes/times in gui updated. (Most show download + install time; a future release will show just install time.) For bug tracker, mailing lists, and wiki, see http://winetricks.org Download url: http://winetricks.org/winetricks
New winetricks 20110310-alpha: new verbs csi6_demo, farmsim2011_demo, mono210
Version 20110310-alpha adds two games csi6_demo - CSI: Fatal Conspiracy Demo farmsim2011_demo - Farming Simulator 2011 Demo plus a new version of mono (2.10). There are a couple gui changes: it adds a help button and a button to unhide broken titles,and adds a scary warning to the dinput and directx9 verb menu items. It also fixes a number of bugs. For bug tracker, mailing lists, and wiki, see http://winetricks.org Download url: http://winetricks.org/winetricks-alpha There's also an announcements mailing list for package maintainers now: http://groups.google.com/group/winetricks-announce Changes since 20110306-alpha: vbrun5, vbrun6: fix install check. vc2005trial: fix regression caused by 7zip installing into its own wineprefix. richtx32: fix install check Print unix file rather than windows file when install check fails, it's much less mysterious. farmsim2011_demo: fix media type Avoid syntax error if which returns empty string list-installed: no longer need kludge. Also sort the inputs rather than the outputs so output shows up faster. firefox4: update to rc1 mono210: new verb w_download: fix penpenxmas and autohotkey right this time w_download: don't set user-agent, it breaks sourceforge download csi6_demo: new verb farmsim2011_demo: new verb. sammax301_demo: fix typo (it's not 304) Add gui option for showing broken apps. Not great, but it'll do for now. Main menu is called 'main', so call prefix menu 'prefix'... masseffect2_demo: use wine-hotfix-6971 if present. Also fix -q support. tahoma: fix install check grr. really fix navigation, I hope. help: new verb, just opens winetricks.org/help in a browser. This is the very first entry on the first menu of the gui. fix breakage in zenity menus remove dead code dxdiag: list under 'dlls' rather than 'apps', since it's usually used in the context of some other app. Make directx9 warning more obvious. OS reporting didn't work well, so put wine version in that slot Fix navigation when returning back from apps Fix KDE support in top menu. Fix time/space columns in German and (kind of) Danish. d3dcompiler_43: new verb by Rico; marked as broken to hide it from casual users until wine can handle more d3d10 dinput: add scary warning

New winetricks-alpha 20110306: new game Crysis 2 Demo and seven others, new dll dinput, lots of bug fixes; ie8 now works
Another fortnight, another Winetricks. Version 20110306-alpha has a slightly cleaned up gui, a handful of bugfixes and sha1sum updates, eight new games (crysis2_demo_mp, diablo2, dragonage, masseffect2_demo, penpenxmas, rayman2_demo, sammax301_demo, and secondlife), one new dll (dinput), and one new setting (vd=640x480). It removes ie68, which is no longer needed, now that ie8 works. It isolates all apps in their own wineprefix by default now, not just games. The option --isolate-games is gone, and a new option --no-isolate was added. And finally, it's not quite as slow at putting up menus. Also, there's some real doc at http://winetricks.org for end users as well as for developers. Download url: http://winetricks.org/winetricks-alpha svn repository / bug tracker: http://winetricks.org Changes since 20110222: Update disk space & time install requirements diablo2: waiting for updater window isn't enough, you have to wait for it to say it's finished! Cope with empty USERNAME, which happens when using startx. hegemony_gold: updated sha1sum Added 'folder' verb to open current wineprefix with xdg-open Show title of installed app rather than absolute path in comment at top, give example of how to install all prereqs firefox: update to 3.6.15, fix system menu. corefonts: Trebuc filenames have mixed case. Fixes bug winezeug-203. Install apps and benchmarks into their own prefixes, too. Show prefix name uniformly in window title. Move ie to dlls, call dlls 'Windows dlls or components'. Add option --no-isolate-games, make --isolate-games the default annihilate: actually ask permission before annihilating the wineprefix. gta_vc: ported, updated. Better fix for bug winezeug-25, should fix new bug winezeug-229 w_download: fix progress indicator gui for locales that use , as a decimal separator. Pointed out by kmiksi. Fixes bug winezeug-232. Add a paragraph at the top about what tools this script uses. Cleaned up comments at top. Moved version ID to very top. vc2005trial: update workarounds for wine-1.3.15 Last changeset was missing wildcards on two patterns Speed up common case of w_pathconv -u 3x by writing it in shell. Suggestion by Christian Storgaard. rayman2_demo: new verb. Based on a patch by Shannon. Make --optout take effect earlier. winetricks_stats_init: always quote W_CACHE dinput: new verb by Shannon, for winehq bug 21159 vd=640x480: new verb, by Shannon diablo2: ported and updated. (Next up: diablo2bc, battle chest version.) crysis2_demo_mp: fix non-q mode, use SetWinDelay to simplify. Patch by Phil. W_CACHE_WIN should just be a drive letter and colon in wine penpenxmas: new verb (based on a patch by Manpreet Sangha) crysis2_demo_mp: new verb by Austin sammax301_demo: new verb by Phil secondlife: ported and updated w_download: autohotkey's download server doesn't like curl's user agent, so use a more common one masseffect2_demo: partly fix windows install. (Clicks still not working.) w_mount: Port support for windows mounts of iso volumes. winetricks_read_volume_name: hexdump is not portable, use od instead w_read_key: create directory before storing key sims3: update to latest version, mention drm problem as showstopper masseffect2: mark as broken drm. masseffect2, masseffect2_demo: move workaround descriptions into w_workaround arg. masseffect2_demo: port verb firefox4: updated to beta12 dragonage: ported verb. Flickers terribly in movies for me :-( osmos_demo: bug 24416 fixed in 1.3.8 w_warn: in -q mode, time out after 5 seconds. Get rid of debug print. sims3: if we want menus to work, we have to install dotnet20. Move sudo detect after gui detect; fixes running winetricks-alpha from system menu ie68: no longer needed, now that ie8 works w_warn: text passed to zenity must be escaped ie8: make -q not fail install test. Fix --gui option, which was ignored because variable was reset after option was processed winetricks_set_wineprefix: Comment out debug print annihilate: only delete .desktop files. Use localized name for Desktop directory. Move silent option to top level menu ie8: set TabProcGrowth=0 to avoid hang. Fixes winezeug bug 159. Thanks to MatthiasLichter. Fix running on cygwin (W_DRIVE_C was wrong)
New winetricks-alpha 20110222-alpha: new verbs d3dx11_43, dragonage2_demo, regedit, shell, taskmgr, winecfg
Right, it's only been a couple days, but here's a new winetricks already. This release adds dragonage2_demo (released earlier today -- hey, we're starting to keep up!) as well as the handy verbs d3dx11_43, regedit, shell, taskmgr, and winecfg, and a few bugfixes. Download url: http://winetricks.org/winetricks-alpha svn repository / bug tracker: http://winetricks.org Changes since 20110219b-alpha: Dan Kegel: Added Status column to gui, containing 'cached' if game installer is cached. bioshock_demo: add mwo=force for bug 6971 cnc3_demo: fixed install check d3dx11_43: new verb dragonage2_demo: new verb Display install size and time for (some) games.

(winezeug bug 128) regedit: new verb shell: new verb (handy for debugging) taskmgr: new verb tmnationsforever: mention portaudio workaround for choppiness winecfg: new verb Changes since 20110219-alpha: hko: removed, since they no longer offer the torrent download. utorrent: updated to 2.2.1beta. hegemony_demo: update sha1sum gecko is no longer a real verb, so remove media type. Fixes one reported failure in test suite. dc2ba_demo: updated sha1sum d3dxof: fix location of downloaded file msls31: fix typo that broke downloading with clean cache. Fixes ie6. Also mention where files are being downloaded to in console.

To get a list of installed verbs from the commandline, you can do winetricks-alpha list-installed In the GUI, the installed verbs now have their checkboxes already checked.

I isolated just games for starters simply because it was an easy place to start, but will get to apps soon. (Incidentally, I did a silent release, 20110219b-alpha, to fix a few install problems that show up on an empty cache.) - Dan

You should make a separate wineprefix the default for Office 2003 and 2007 as well, though it shouldn't be sandboxed. Right now you are setting the override for riched20 only for the main apps, but many of Office's advanced features (e.g., clip organizer, equation editor) are separate exes and the override needs to be set for all of them. Installing to a separate wineprefix and setting the override globally is much easier. It will also protect Office apps from being messed up by other overrides a user might set for other apps. You might also want to disable Wine's crash dialog for Office, as it prevents Office's error handler from recovering the file that was being worked on at the time of the crash. -- Rosanne DiMesio
new winetricks-alpha 20110219-alpha: added wineprefix selection screen
Another day, another winetricks-alpha. (Well, it *is* alpha.) winetricks-alpha version 20110219's gui now starts with a wineprefix selection dialog. If you just click OK, it uses the default wineprefix. When using the gui, games can only be installed into their own sandboxed prefix. This keeps them from bumping into each other and making them spill their coffee, or worse. (This feature may seem odd, but it's how PlayOnLinux works, and it was specifically requested by Vitaliy Margolen in http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2011-January/088332.html ) It now has an option to delete the selected wineprefix, and if you do, it also deletes any xdg desktop menuitems that refer to it. Comments welcome. There are some quirks left to work out with the new gui behavior, so caveat downloador. Download url: http://winetricks.org/winetricks-alpha svn repository / bug tracker: http://winetricks.org Changelog: Dan Kegel: In pickprefix menu, sense dosdevices rather than user.reg; makes new wineprefixes show up immediately Deleting a wineprefix also deletes its menu items. Make default wineprefix the, um, default in pickprefix. Games are reachable only via pickprefix menu now. Experimental gui change: outer dialog is now prefix selection. Needs polish and testing still. algodoo_demo: wait for installer to finish in non-silent case Remove dead code for run and uninstall modes/menus.
new winetricks-alpha 20110218-alpha: new verbs office2007pro, sketchup, starcraft2_demo, wowtrial, 14 others; new option --isolate-games
Another month, another winetricks-alpha.
winetricks-alpha version 20110218 adds the following new verbs:
atmosphir deusex2_demo dsoundhw=emulation eve fable_tlc
fifa11_demo hegemony_demo hon imvu kotor1
kotor2 lhp_demo mb_warband_demo office2003pro office2007pro
sketchup starcraft2_demo videomemorysize wowtrial
and four new options:
--guiForce gui progress indications even when run from commandline
--isolate-games Puts games in their own sandboxed wineprefix. Experimental.
--nocleanLeave temp files when verbs done. Useful when debugging.
--showbroken Gui normally hides apps known not to work with
current wine. This shows them anyway.
and one new feature:
Commands are now logged to $WINEPREFIX/winetricks.log so user has a
record of what he did to the bottle
and updates a number of download URLs, most notably mxsml3.
The script can be downloaded from winetricks.org at the obvious url:
http://winetricks.org/winetricks-alpha
(The old download url at kegel.com/wine/winetricks-alpha still works, too.)

wine-1.3.12 broke winetricks :-(
Looks like wine-1.3.12 went out without the fix for http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25838 I've checked a workaround into winetricks, and will do a release, but I bet a few users will be confused...

As far as games go, most steamed versions don't really require an installation, steam downloads them and runs re-distributable installers that game requires. I guess where I'm going with it, is how much will winetricks install to satisfy each program? And how well this list will correspond to environment? How about conflicts between setups for different games under one wineprefix? Or conflicts with existing installed software under the same wineprefix? The only scenario that would be fine with me, if winetricks will allow new prefix only for complete software installs. And refuse to install into existing one. The author of PlayOnLinux agrees with you; that's how that tool works. I do have code for that, but I haven't turned it on yet, since it raises some UI issues. I could make it the default for app installs once I iron those out. This will be highly beneficial for everyone. User will be able to easily remove programs, and you won't need to deal with conflicting requirements. Also this will guarantee that default prefix is left untouched. Vitaliy.

I suspect PlayOnLinux got the cold shoulder because they use old versions of wine, they use their own patches, they don't have a 'real' version control system for game scripts, and they didn't communicate with the wine community. So problem reports from PlayOnLinux users weren't very helpful for Wine developers. Winetricks doesn't encourage users to run old or patched wine, and I'm not a stranger on wine-devel. In fact, if we play our cards right, winetricks might actually reduce the number of clueless support requests. People have trouble following the HOWTOs in the appdb. A winetricks verb for a game should be like a perfectly automated little implementation of the HOWTO, with bug workarounds clearly marked, and skipped automatically when using new enough wine. Better still, since it's automated, we can run it nightly to make sure it doesn't break. What concrete problems do you see with winetricks having verbs for popular games? - Dan

New winetricks 20110105: improved download error recovery, added first-run optin dialog. New winetricks 20110105-alpha: menu divided into categories, added 35 games
Another month, another Winetricks - or, rather, two new Winetricks. New version 20110105 has only two notable changes: 1. it will retry a corrupt download for you (this should get rid of most cryptic warnings about needing to rename a file and retry), 2. a first run dialog now asks whether you'd like to help winetricks development by reporting usage stats. You should only see this dialog once (and only if you're using the gui, and only if you're using zenity). This has been very helpful already, as people have been running it from svn. Please let me know what you think of it. Online as always at http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks Experimental new version 20110105-alpha has a few further changes: 3. The menu is now broken up by category; there's now a top-level menu which gives you a choice of category (dll, font, app, or setting). This ought to make the menu a little less overwhelming. Let me know what you think of the new menu navigation. 4. There's now a progress dialog during downloads in gui mode. 5. It should work better when the user has removed the Z: drive. 6. It's been refactored to make adding new verbs much easier (you no longer have to edit the script in multiple places to add a verb, and you can even put verbs in external files). 7. Added 35 games. (A bunch more remain to be ported from wisotool.) 8. Removed (or, rather, haven't ported yet) a number of less-common verbs. The statistics gathered by the new version will tell us which of the remaining verbs to port first. The experimental version is only at http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks-alpha SVN and bug tracker are online at http://winezeug.googlecode.com Changes in version 20110105: Dan Kegel: - remove old synonym dotnet2 for dotnet20 - mpc: remove broken call to append_path - handle 'winetricks win31 vista' properly - make dotnet20sp2 warn that it's broken. Don't list in menu. - w_download: don't redownload if no expected checksum given. Also remove == typo from r2207. - don't declare checksum error unless, y'know, there was a checsum error - as favor for etersoft, avoid referring directly to zenity/kdialog/xmssage to avoid pulling them all in as dependencies when building a package - automatically retry download once if cached file has wrong checksum - ie8: avoid writing to / (just like ie7 fix). Don't bother running ie8 when finished; point user to workaround instead. Also move a verb that got sandwiched between ie6 and ie7. - ie7: when / is writable as on macosx, move z: out of the way during ie7 install to avoid scribbling temporary files in /. Had to run with WINEDEBUG=warn+heap to avoid memory bugs in setupapi? - when reporting usage, also report version. - in zenity gui case, ask user on first run whether to opt in to usage reporting. - on MacOS X, put cache in /home/dank/Library/Caches - delete msxml6.dll before running installer.

New winetricks 20101222: new verbs icodecs, msnasn1, opensymbol, wmi, xmllite; removed obsolete verbs audioio, dcom98, eadm, urlmon
Another month, another Winetricks. Online as always at http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks or http://winezeug.googlecode.com (Bug reports to the issue tracker at the above URL, please.) Changes: Lots of bugfixes. wsh57 now works with vb scripts. The code has undergone some spring cleaning, so watch out for regressions. (We've fixed a few already.) In particular, the audioio, dcom98, eadm, and urlmon verbs are gone, let me know if you really need those! There's a new --optin commandline option that will tells winetricks to phone home after each run with info about which verbs really get used. Please consider using this, it will help future winetricks development. (You only have to give that option once, it sticks. You can turn it off with the --optout option, or by removing ~/.cache/winetricks.) Longer Changelog: Detlef Riekenberg: wmi: new verb Andrew Nguyen: steam: install corefonts first gfw: Avoid extracting the entire Win2k SP4 redist for msasn1.dll Austin English: Always use quiet and overwrite options for unzip. (issue 196) Lots of win64 fixes audioio: removed cmake: support silent install d3dx9_xx: only extract the desired dll (faster) dotnet11: work around wine bug 25120 eadm: remove, it's useless and its sha1sum changes way too often ie6: get rid of ie6 online installer, rename ie6_full to ie6 (which works around the inseng bug), support quiet installs mono28: bump to mono 2.8.1 mono28: remove mono registry keys, they are set by default in Wine since 1.2 msxml3: fix install opensymbol: added font set_psm: should set PixelShaderMode, not RenderTargetLockMode. (Issue 197) unset_winver: wine changed version setting, so make this a synonym for winver xp vcrun2003: use the correct programfiles directory. Fixes win64 install. w_call: if the subshell fails, exit immediately, otherwise w_die() is useless winver: update how setting a windows version works. w_warn: should return 0 in case of no-gui xact: fix for WINEPREFIXes with spaces/special characters Dan Kegel: Many small changes to start obeying new coding convention. Fix a few bugs found when running on windows Fix places where paths weren't quoted (bug 179). Thanks to Roberto Neri. Add --option, --optout options to control experimental opt-in usage tracking. crypt32: it was really broken, but works now. dcom98: it's obsolete, and causes problems, so removed. dotnet30: have to set XP mode now for install to work dotnet35: improved recipe per Louis, good enough to let some apps start icodecs: brought back, thanks to Alan Alberghini for the new URL. msasn1: new verb. urlmon: remove for now wsh57: improve so wscript hello.vbs works xmllite: new verb. (Hangs at end unless you give -q)

RFC: New winetricks options --optin, --optout
I'm interested in which winetricks verbs people are using, mostly so I can nuke the ones that nobody cares about, but also so I can pay more attention to making sure popular ones work. So I added an --optin option to winetricks; if you give that option, winetricks will report which verbs you use. You can turn this off again with --optout. This is only in svn, not yet in the released version, and it's only a commandline thing; GUI users are currently unaffected. See http://code.google.com/p/winezeug/source/detail?r=2137 I kind of expect not many people to find that option and turn it on, so it seemed safe to add. If the community agrees, at some point I'll change the GUI to ask users on first run whether they want to help winetricks development by reporting usage information. Comments? - Dan
Removal of dcom98 from winetricks?
I remember discussing this at wineconf as something we should do, but it seems there's at least one situation I've found where it still helps: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8780 Is it possible this is a hidden issue bleeding into other apps as well? Thanks, Scott Ritchie

winetricks IE6 installer not downloading
Hi, When I try to install IE6 using winetricks it pops up installer wizard and when I press I accept installer tells me following error: "Setup was unable to download required components". (Internet connection is working well) Screenshot of error: http://ubuntuone.com/p/Tbs/ Thanks.
winetricks dotnet30 install seems to be working again
For me, with today's winetricks from svn and wine from git, winetricks dotnet30 seems to work well. It appears to hang at the end because of http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25059 but that's cosmetic; if you look for the icon hiding on the taskbar, you'll see the installer completed. Don't know if the resulting package works, but at least it installed for me just now once. Ship it! :-)

'winetricks python' and user-submitted small testcases
Wy back in 2002, the wine project experimented with writing win32 conformance tests in Perl. Nobody liked it; it was dropped in favor of conformance tests in C, and there was much rejoicing. Today I noticed http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23940 which has a simple win32 test case written in Python. Surprisingly, with 'winetricks python', the test case ran and demonstrated the problem (though since the python script expected you to start another app first, and edit the python to have the other app's window title, it wasn't an unattended test). That particular bug isn't anything special, but I was happy to see that a user who preferred Python was able to successfully send a minimal test case for a win32 problem written in his favorite language, and have someone else successfully run it.

re: Missing romanian characters in some fonts + winetricks feature request
The right place for winetricks feature requests is the winezeug issue tracker. I've filed http://code.google.com/p/winezeug/issues/detail?id=134 for the eu font update request.
Missing romanian characters in some fonts + winetricks feature request
Hello, Most fonts are missing some characters (S and T with a comma below, as opposed to those with a cedilla; see [1] for a discussion) needed to correctly represent some letters in the Romanian alphabet. Initially, Windows XP did not include support for these characters, but it released an update to fix this once Romania joined the EU. The update [2] contains the fonts Times New Roman, Arial, Trebuchet, Verdana. Winetricks should include a new trick to download this update and install the 16 font files from the package. It would be nice to have something like "corefonts w/ EU update" which would install the fixed fonts + the other core fonts that are not included in this update. There is a small problem caused by the casing of the filenames in this update (Times New Roman, Arial, Verdana filenames have a different casing than the ones on SF.net), so they should be renamed to match the original corefonts names. Also, corefonts should not override the updated EU fonts if it detects them. There is the general problem that most system fonts wine uses are missing these characters, and some characters render incorrectly in dialogs. Most notably, the find/replace dialogs in comdlg32 with ro_RO.utf8 locale are completely broken font-wise: ă and î look bad, ț shows as a question mark. "MS Shell Dlg" font is usually used in dialogs, but it doesn't show up in the font selection dialog, so I'm not sure what font is actually used. Try pasting the following text in notepad/wordpad and try various fonts to see for yourself: ă Ă - a with breve â Â - a with circumflex î Î - i with circumflex ș Ș - s with comma ț Ț - t with comma ş Ş - s with cedilla (obsolete for RO) ţ Ţ - t with cedilla (obsolete for RO) Not sure how this issue could be fixed. Are the fonts we currently use open source, can we edit them?

Well, we need to register a decoder coclass to do this most cleanly, using WIC's built-in image format detection. These classes aren't present on any native dll's. Even if we didn't use a coclass, we'd need some sort of extension to a builtin dll. Most of the extra formats are only needed by d3dx9 (it seems native d3dx10 and d3dx11 use WIC, so they mostly support the WIC formats). DDS, however, can be loaded in d3dx9, d3dx10, and d3dx11. If we put a coclass for DDS in one of these dll's, the other two will have to load it when a program needs to read a DDS file.

I guess it's not a problem. It's just that up until now, I've been trying to keep them interchangeable. I don't think there's a need for a warning, as long as it's easy to identify the situation from logs, starting from the default output. It should be pretty obvious: a failure to instantiate a builtin WIC clsid followed by a d3dx fixme.

I figure that most users of games that rely on the D3DX utility DLLs usually won't have any reason to install the WIC redist, and most of the time, they would have cause to install the native d3dx9_*.dll libraries to work around unimplemented functionality, which would sidestep the issue. I suppose, given that winetricks does offer verbs that potentially break builtins, the issue could simply be ignored, or a warning could be issued regarding the potential issue, if you think that's merited.

That means they either have to go into windowscodecs or individual d3dx dll's, and putting them in windowscodecs seems to make more sense. Since native won't have these decoders, it will break builtin d3dx.

Re: Two enhancement requests for winetricks
I can not yet see how the lowest common denominator end-user can use this transparently (i.e. for example from the Ubuntu user interface shell). Just clicking on an installation CD puts everything into ~/.wine. I guess in some instances (e.g. installing add-ons or updates on programs) one needs interaction. Can wine handle multiple instances of the server for the different directories, when applications from different start directories are running in parallel ? If this is not the officially documented, I think one cannot expect an end-user to do this. joerg-cyril.hoe...@t-systems.com wrote: Hi, Jan Hoogenraad wrote: Each debugging request for wine states that I should remove all winetricks.

Re: Two enhancement requests for winetricks
Thanks a lot. Regarding your comment on id=127 "want uninstall": Could this useage (use winetricks ONLY on a relatively empty .wine directory to troubleshoot) be documented on every place in the winetricks documentation directories ? This is not the way the documentation feels at: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks e.g. a short point explaining this, and that there is NO way to remove winetricks will help here. At this point, even the Ubuntu standard wine packaging includes winetricks. This leaves end-users with the impression that they are integral part of wine, and thus maintained. Wine has been maturing. I now have a stable Windows environment, which required a few winetricks a year ago. This was then reasonable. I really will not anymore remove the .wine directory to delete all installed applications including keys & settings. If I can help with starting an uninstaller, I am willing to put in some time: A helpful step for me as a user would be to begin with a few cases that can simply be implemented (e.g. cc580, which I could remove recently due to a bug fix). I also see some application-like entries (7zip, firefox, gecko, python, vlc, wmp) where the package uninstaller may work.
