I am using Playonlinux and im trying to use winetricks to install a dll in one of my POL prefixes. I do:

WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/giffmegames/ winetricks

and get

wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string

How do I fix this ?

I tried reading about it online nothing I did helped. I am also worried I could have messed my permissions up (by watching the tutorials) as I am not an experienced user. Any way to check if they are okay ?

Hi,

To use a Wine prefix managed by PlayOnLinux/PlayOnMac you have to set $WINEPREFIX, and also $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH as soon as you're not using your system Wine.

Or use Configure button > (select virtual drive) > Miscellaneous tab > "Open a shell in this virtual drive" button

and get a terminal with the right environment already setup by PlayOnLinux.

Hey thanks for the help. But im not very good with linux. What do I have to do after I "Open a shell in this virtual drive" ?

Type winetricks. But what do you want to install with winetricks by the way? That's not what we support anymore for installing native components.
