Bug ID: 44710
           Summary: Give users push button solution thru winetricks or via
                    another means to sustain most common modern
                    dependencies
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

Most professional software such as the immensely popular photoshop and the
whole adobe suite in general along with virtually EVERY OTHER professional
grade software packages NEEDS at LEAST MS.NET and VISUAL C++ Im here suggesting
to make the life of the users easier by providing a push button solution to
install the most common dependent packages for the most popular productivity
softwares. Because winetricks is horrible, it not only allows you to install
outdated and obsolete packages but many of them are listed BEFORE the most
RECENT and most USEFULL packages. Using winetricks is already challenging, its
interface is horrible enough to revert to windows if one were to try using it
to no avail. Therefore a push button solution is extremely favorable.

List of required application dependencies changes over time, it will get
outdated pretty soon. And you shouldn’t be installing dependencies you don’t
need. Winetricks command line interface is pretty straightforward, you can get
full verbs list with description, and install something right after. Calling
most recent versions most useful doesn’t make sense, it differs from
application to application.

Winetricks is a separate project; if you don't like its interface, complain at
https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues.

I think this is rather a wontfix, the wine project isn't going to provide a
simple way to install Microsoft proprietary stuff.

Sounds like you want PlayOnLinux, but that's also a separate project.
