wine users - Jun 2009 - winetricks doesn't work for me

It's been a long time since I used winetricks, but either I'm doing
something wrong, or ???
I run Karmic Koala.

Looks like you've run Wine/winetricks as root before.
Check which directory is owned by root ~/.winetrickscache or ~/.wine and remove
it with 'sudo rm -rf <directory>'.
