--- Comment #3 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2009-06-22 01:20:25 --- The whole point of winetricks is that it does things that wine itself can't, for technical/legal/etc. reasons.
For instance, it implements hacks to work around bugs (dotnet20, volnum, etc.), and can install things that requires a windows license (art2kmin, etc.).
BTW, the winetricks developers *ARE* wine developers ;-).
