used: sh winetricks mdac28 can see it installed to /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files and windows and winetrickscache it hasn't resolved the issues i'm having so how do i remove the mdac28 package? do i have to manually remove the files or is there an opposite to sh winetricks mdac28? also... does rm -rf ~/.wine put wine back to it's initial install state? ie removes all winetricks packages as well as programs installed am only testing one program this might be helpful in trying a clean install thanks for the continuing assistance! when i mess things up!
