The plan is that winetricks should not be used for installing Gecko.
So you intentionally broke it?
No, I was actually fixing the bug that caused the downloader to crash as you described. The downloader was *accidentally* broken some time ago and then I've decided that we need a better solution. That's why it was broken for a while. I didn't want to fix something that is broken by design.
Perhaps the downloader/installer could be automated? E.g., currently, doing: $ rm -rf ~/.wine ; wineboot brings up the installer, where the user only clicks install, nothing else. Could an automated option be added, say: $ wine iexplore.exe -install_gecko that way winetricks can still install it for users quickly and painlessly, without having to mess with sudo/etc.?
