Bug Description

This problem is here http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=46676&sid=e079403e24479d9edafc9ae0a2471432

I ll post excepts from the page

Trying winetricks ie6 or winetricks ie7 result in an installer error dialog:

"This installation does not support your system architecture (32/64bits)"

All that is required to fix this it to define the environment variable:

export WINEARCH=win32

before ~/.wine is created for the first time.

This prevents wine being structured as a 64-bit installation and allows winetricks to work properly.
