Cannot reainstall broken dll. #239

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ./winetricks dlls vb6run

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Executing w_do_call vb6run
vb6run already installed, skipping

Expected:
vb6run already installed, do you want to reinstall? [Y/N]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version

Please provide any additional information below.
Broken DLL:s or other installs cannot be reinstalled. The only option is to 
start with a now wine-prefix.

Where is this information even stored. I tried deleting .cache/winetricks and 
winetricks.log but nothing happens!

"now wine-prefix" should be new. :)

The commandline offers a --force option to allow you to try reinstalling.

So, the question is, why wasn't this obvious?  Is RTFM a valid response,
or is some UI change needed?

A suggestion for the --gui, why not have an option similar to 
Enable silent install

e.g.
Enable force option (enables reinstall of broken packages)

RTFM would be valid if it was in the manual. :)

Personally I don't need any change as i now know this, but for other users a UI 
change would be useful.
