Hi, I have been trying to install winetricks on 10.04.1 LTS but I am having no success. Does anyone know what the problem is? I get the following errors:> wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\gearsec.exe" > winetricks: 4382: cannot create /home/bandito/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/zenity.sh: Permission denied > winetricks: 4382: cannot create /home/bandito/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/zenity.sh: Permission denied > sh: Can't open /home/bandito/.wine/dosdevices/c:/winetrickstmp/zenity.sh >Thanks in advance!

Winetricks is a script to install stuff, not a program itself. Read the instructions here : http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
