--- Comment #24 from Daniel Harvison sirbubbles01@yahoo.com.au 2009-10-01 03:02:07 --- I've found that after a game tries to install the C++ library or something similar, you need to uninstall it, often by removing the installed files from /windows/system32 under your wine profile's c drive Only after that can you successfully install it using winetricks. Hope this helps.
You could always try this under a new wineprefix, as in "export WINEPREFIX=~/putnamehere" to create a new prefix.
