Ubuntu – How to install vcrun2008 using Winetricks

winewinetricks

I tried to install vcrun2008 but i always get

vcrun2008 install completed, but installed file
/home/bla/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/winsxs/x86_Microsoft.VC90.MFC_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.6161_x-ww_028bc148/mfc90.dll not found

I installed winetricks from the Ubuntu Software Center, then i read about manual install and installed it manually into my home directory. But the manual install is not active when I uninstall the Ubuntu Software Center version.

How can i install the latest version from Ubuntu Software Center? Or how can i install vcrun2008 with the USC?

You can add vcrun2008, or any other Windows component or .dll, using Winetricks.

Open Winetricks
Select the profile that you want to add the .dll to (e.g. the default)
Select "Install a Windows DLL or component"; click OK
Select the component(s) you want installed; click OK
Follow the handy dialog boxes

Good luck!

Ubuntu – winetricks can’t install mfc42

Adding the Wine PPA from: http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu solved the problem for me.

Ubuntu – Winetricks fails to find program files directory

This is a permissions problem as a result of having previously run Winetricks as root (with sudo). Winetricks was never intended to be run as root.

You can see from ls -ld that the Winetricks cache folder is owned by root:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root       root       4096 Aug  2 18:09 /home/vectoruser/.cache/winetricks

To fix this, you can run this command in a terminal to restore ownership to yourself:

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER "$HOME/.cache"
