Wine stop working after winetricks shell run

[desp]

Hello, what's happening?
Uhmmm, was trying my HeidiSql app to work with mssql and then wine popup appeared telling me that i need to `wget winetricks` and run some shell scripts.. (Sorry i didn't remember what was that, but it was for mssql support or something). Did those instructions - shell script got hung, was waiting about 15min, nothing happened, pressed Ctrl+C than got backgound error messages. Since then Wine forgot how to wine:

• - Can't run wine
  - Can't run wine apps
  - Can't run wine settings
  - Can't run winetricks
  - Can't even use menu "Uninstall wine software"

Wait, need a break. Ok, now it is more funny part:

• - Can't uninstall wine
  - sudo apt-get purge/autoremove didn't help
  - actually remove wine seems to work, but it stays in menu...

So, literally - NOTHING works.

My system is 64-bit Kubuntu 14.04, kdelibs: 4.13.3, qt version: 4.8.6, kernel version: 3.13.0-33-generic, AMD process and enough of ram.

So. If you go ahead and try to help me it would be great. Thanks.

Plain Wine does not pop up messages telling you to wget winetricks and run shell scripts, so if you got such a message, you must be using some third party version of Wine. Ask for help from in the support channel of whatever third party app you're using.

`sudo apt-get install wine`

That's how i got wine into my system.

The source of the popup message you say you saw is not Wine. The one other possibility that I can think is that the app itself could be Wine-aware, and that's where the message came from. If that's the case, contact the app vendor for support.

As for cleaning up a messed-up wineprefix, the instructions for plain Wine are here. Keep in mind that if you used a third party wrapper for Wine it may have installed your app somewhere other than the default wineprefix.
