Winetricks and Multiple Wine Processes

[cfurlin]

Hello,

I thought this would be a question someone asked before but my search returned no hits so...

I have several Wine process, mainly because some software I use requires Win components or registry entries that screw up other applications. I run these apps alone in dedicated Wine processes. For example, I have the folllwing:

.wine
.wine-lotro
.wine2
.wine3

Is there any way to tell winetricks which process to use when installing components? I can't find information on how to do it anywhere.

Right now I'm renaming the .wine dorectory to .wine-old, then renaming the dir I need components installed to .wine. Installing using winetricks and then putting everything back to the way it was. Tedious.

Thanks in advance.

I think you mean prefix, not process. Process has a specific meaning
on computers.

Anywho, yes, just use:
$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine2 winetricks corefonts

adjust appropriately to what you want.
