Need offline option for winetricks #100

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Some people need to be able to use winetricks without
an internet connection, relying only on the cache.
We probably need a commandline option for that.

hello all.

i am running ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) with wine (1.0.1).

i've used the latest winetricks file (VERSION=20100201) to download various 
runtime
libraries to enable my system for Microsoft Word 2007 use, for example by 
running:

~$ sh winetricks msxml3 dotnet20 gdiplus riched20 riched30 vcrun2005sp1

the downloads and subsequent file installs are successful and Word 2007 runs 
fine.

the runtime libraries are downloaded to ~/.winetrickscache

what i would like to do is archive the downloaded files located in
~/.winetrickscache, and reinstall these files (sometime in the future) offline,
without any reliance on an internet connection.

i don't always have an internet connection, and so i would like a way to 
reinstall
these files on subsequent new installs of intrepid without relying on an 
internet
connection.

is there a way of running winetricks so that winetricks installs archived 
runtime
files, which can be placed in a user-made ~/.winetrickscache folder?

this option would allow me to clean my drive, and then reinstall intrepid, wine 
and
the MS runtime files without the need for an internet connection. 

regards,

thed

.

If you simply backup ~/.winetrickscache, you should be fine. If you're looking 
for an
option to get everything downloaded, there isn't one...You could use 
winetrickstest
to get (nearly) everything, but that will wipe out your ~/.winetrickscache 
(unless
you comment that line out).

No, he's already got .winetrickscache, now he just wants to be able
to run winetricks without it dialing his modem for files he already has,
I think.

Yes.  This is what exactly I need now.  I need to install 
vcrun2005,vcrun2008,vcrun2010 without internet using winetricks, I have 
downloaded these .msi files and put under **/.cache/wine/vcrun2005 etc, how to 
turn off the download.

Thanks a lot.
