Sha256sum mismatch installing vcrun2005 and vcrun2010

Post by fietz »

I am trying to install vcrun2005 and vcrun2010 on an Ubuntu 20.04LTS PC, using winetricks 20210206-next, and a 64 bit WINE prefix. WINE version is 6.0.1

I get this error:
warning: sha256sum mismatch! Rename /home/alan/.cache/winetricks/vcrun2005/vcredist_x86.EXE and try again. Alternatively, use --force to ignore this check.
I have tried deleting the .EXE file to no avail.
I found a similar post for vcrun2019; it's workaround was to edit /usr/bin/winetricks. Is there a similar workaround for my issue?

P.S. I was able to install vcrun2015.

Hi, I have had similar issues trying to download/install vcrun lately as well and would love to see a solution to this. Although, it seems like it is probably more of an issue with winetricks, if it is down to a checksum mismatch?

FYI: there is a bug report already open for this in the winetricks bugtracker here:

https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/1774

they recommend there running

Code: Select all

winetricks --self-update
to update to the latest version. I just tried it in a new prefix and both vcrun 2005 and 2010 installed fine.

I had been using the latest version of winetricks (20210206-next) yet I did the suggested self-update anyway, which loaded the exact same version (20210206-next). However, the vcrun2005 and vcrun2010 installs now work perfectly! Go figure. Thank you so much for your help.
