wine vs winetricks

I understand that wine and winetricks come together, but the advice for installing a program says to install using winetricks. When I went on the website to download msxml6 the only option Ubuntu gave me for installing it was wine, so I did not download it.

Actually they do not come together. Some distributions package
winetricks with wine but I recommend that you download winetricks from
the source and use that instead.

Once I install winetricks how do I install msxml6?
If I open wine tricks, which I figured out how to do I am asked do I want to

Install an app
Install a benchmark
Install a game

Microsoft Core XML Services is the long way of saying msxml6. I know some windows programs require it, but I don't have enough computer knowledge to know why.

open a terminal as a normal user and type

winetricks msxml6

Do not do that as root or use su or sudo

Can I just copy and paste that?

See http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks for how to run winetricks.

How you run it depends on how you installed it.

For instance, you can copy and paste this, and it should work:

rm -f winetricks
wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks
sh winetricks msxml6

I installed it from the Ubuntu software center.

What was I supposed to copy and paste?
The "rm -f winetricks" line or the other two lines also?

edit:Thanks, I figured it out. Now I am just waiting to see if it works.

I got a message saying:

"The msxml6 package is not supported by the current processor type."

If it matters, I have an Intel® Celeron(R) CPU 900.

How did you try to install msxml6?

If you downloaded a file from Microsoft, perhaps you downloaded the wrong one.

Try instead
sh winetricks msxml6

That will download and install the right file for you.

I used "sh winetricks msxml6"
I copied and pasted it from a post in this thread to my console, and that error came up.

Just in case, can you try this with current wine (wine-1.5.9)?

I will try it. Should I try an update from the terminal, or the Ubuntu Software Center? Since I have been told by more than one person that it matters how it is installed I want to use whichever one is easier to deal with.
