If you are running it as root then you ought not to have a permission denied ;) Downloading winetricks is fine as root, but you should copy it somewhere useful like /usr/local/bin. I would recommend running these commands as root in a terminal: cd /usr/local/bin wget 'http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks' chmod +x /usr/local/bin/winetricks Then ensure that /usr/local/bin is in your users path and then as the non-root user run winetricks. If you get the reply 'command not found' when you try and run it, then run the command with the full path: /usr/local/bin/winetricks (as your normal non-root user. If you run it as root it will not break anything, but could be considered a security issued by you.) Running wine as root is ill advised, but it is your computer and you can do whatever you like.
