winetricks

I'm trying to install d3dx9 with winetricks on wine 1.5 from ppa and I keep getting an error. I tried:

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.win32 winecfg 
sudo WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.win32 winetricks

And still get this error:

wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string

If I type wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' into the terminal I get C:\Program Files so the path seems correct but not when I run winetricks.

I also tried this regedit fix with no luck.

Any ideas?

Looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases 13.04 will reach EOL in January 2014, while 12.10 will reach EOL in April 2014, therefore if a 12.10 user hasn't upgraded to 13.04 and subsequently to 13.10, there will be a 3 month period where a 12.10 user has a supported version of Ubuntu, but will be… >>> More
