Winetricks fails installing dotnet20 and msxml6

I ran into the same problem yesterday. I posted a fix on the ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12176837

Maybe that works better than the file from filehippo.

Edit: Make sure that wine is in 32 bit mode as specified on the wine-hq page for .net 2.0

How to use winecfg headless?

Just like Windows does, everything in Wine is configured through the registry. Every single settings winecfg access can also be accessed through the registry using the regedit utility, which can also be used in command line to either import a big .reg file or set individual keys on the command line itself.

All the used keys are in the Useful Registry Keys wiki page.

The easiest option in your case would be to export the configuration in a .reg file (right click on the keys you need, export) and then import then with wine regedit MyConfig.reg in your auto-configure script. You can write the .reg manually as well if you want, it's just a .ini-style text file.

Edit: wanted to add that as a comment as it doesn't answer the question itself but suggest another way of doing it but I lack reputation here: I'd recommend to just create a full copy of your clean pre-installation prefix and just copy it back when you need to reset. You will avoid the whole script to reconfigure a clean prefix, and will also be much faster than reinstalling libraries through winetricks and running regedit as all its a disk only operation.

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.

options

--force

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

Don’t delete temp directories (useful during debugging)

--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

-V, --version

Display version and exit
