So. I was having problems with WineTricks, and after fudging around with settings and whatnot, re-downloading it, trying to run it from the Terminal...I decided to uninstall both Wine and WineTricks. So I opened up the "Ubuntu Software Center", found both wine and winetricks and hit "remove". To my disappointment, it didn't actually remove it. (It seemed to "re-install' more than it did "remove"). After trying this again, I went into the Synaptic Package Manager, searched for wine and hit "Complete Removal". That did seem to work...but I noticed that there was still a ".wine" folder in my home folder. Seeing as I didn't need it anymore, I deleted it. Now, I try to reinstall wine...which I can do...but nothing happens. When I open wine from the "Applications" menu...nothing runs. Nothing associated to wine runs. And all the programs that I deleted from the ".wine" folder still show up. (But I get an error message saying it can't be found or something...). All I want right now is to have a clean re-install of the Wine software. Apparently after the "complete removal" some data was still left behind. (All the program names and their "would be" locations are an example). Except, I don't think this can be done automatically using the Synaptic Package Manager...so I'm assuming manual uninstall-ation is required. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04. And would like to install the latest stable version of Wine without any problems. I previously had the unstable beta version. If you need more information, do not hesitate to ask. (whether it be a clarification of what I said or want, or more system information). Thanks!

@dimesio Thank you for all your help thus far. And your threads were quite helpful, and it probably would've saved you the trouble of finding them if I had posted a few minutes sooner. @dardack Thank you. That method does work correctly, but it would still be nice to be able to use the nice GUI instead of having to do everything from command line for the rest of my use with winetricks. :p So any help in fixing that would be much appreciated.

Please try wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks sh -x winetricks > winetricks.log 2>&1 and get the problem to happen, then email me the log.
