wine users - Jun 2012 - winetricks won't open from terminal

mike at mike-Inspiron-N4010:~$ winetricks
------------------------------------------------------
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned unexpanded string
'%ProgramFiles%' ... can be caused a corrupt wineprefix, an old wine, or
by not owning /home/mike/.wine
------------------------------------------------------
mike at mike-Inspiron-N4010:~$ 


I'm new to linux so does anybody have a fix for this? I'm trying to play
LoL on here but I need extra packages from winetricks, and  it won't open.
Please help!

The terminal gave you three possible reasons; figure out which one it is. Delete
the wineprefix, upgrade to the latest development release if you're not
already using it, and reinstall your apps as a normal user (never run Wine as
root).
