OK, I must have done something wrong yesterday. I now have Wine 1.3.37 . As for Winetricks, I followed the instructions: Code: rm -f winetricks wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks sudo cp winetricks /usr/bin sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/winetricks it downloaded a 585 KB file (no version number) It needed a reboot before it would launch Winetricks, and when it did, there is still no trick for MDAC or Jet. Since I had to go outside of Synaptic, it longer gives the correct version number for Winetricks, but it says 0.0+20110629 . Embedded in /usr/bin/winetricks it says version 20111115 .[/code]
