Created attachment 51350 [details] trying to follow above - no joy on winetricks
Also, trying with ARCH parameter: jdecs@Merlin43:~/Downloads> WINEARCH=win32 winetricks -q ie7
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string, error message 'wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/jdecs/.wine' is a 64-bit installation.'
WINEARCH only works when creating a new prefix, you can't convert a 64-bit prefix to a 32-bit one, or vice versa. You'll need to use a new prefix.
OK - but, rather like Mr. Brewster above, I am utterly new to this, in fact I only installed Wine for the first time today. Will you please give me additional instruction about what this PREFIX business requires me to do? Thanks.
