Can't install CRT (C Runtime) libraries.

[Mugsy323]

Help! Every attempt to install the CRT (C Runtime) libraries using Winetricks results in the following error:

I've tried both 64 & 32 bit wine prefixes. I checked the path specified by the error and the file is already named what it suggests it be renamed as.

I've tried every listed installer from 2003 to 2019. Nothing works. Any ideas? TIA

It's generally recommended to run winetricks from the terminal (i.e. not use the zenity GUI). It's also important to ensure that your local copy of winetricks is up-to-date.

Force winetricks update:

Code: Select all

sudo winetricks --self--update

Clear winetricks cache:

Code: Select all

rm -rf ~/.cache/winetricks

Run required winetricks verbs:

Code: Select all

winetricks -q vcrun2019

winetricks has a BASH completion helper script - which I developed a few years ago.
This should help with determining the verb names you require - when running winetricks from a terminal prompt.

"sudo winetricks --self--update" doesn't work (unrecognized command.)

Also tried "sudo winetricks --self --update" (space added), "sudo winetricks --update", and "bash winetricks --update".

I also tried "bash winetricks vcrun2015", which fails with the installer telling me "Access denied".

Indeed, there is a typo.
The command is:

Code: Select all

sudo winetricks --self-update

Sorry 'bout that!
