arch=32|64            create wineprefix with 32 or 64 bit, this option must be
                      given before prefix=foobar and will not work in case of
                      the default wineprefix.
prefix=foobar         select WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/.local/share/wineprefixes/foobar
annihilate            Delete ALL DATA AND APPLICATIONS INSIDE THIS WINEPREFIX

Depending on if Winetricks was installed system-wide or not, or if it's not otherwise added to the user's PATH, it will be necessary to execute it directly either by making the script file an executable, or use a command such as sh.

To use Winetricks with a different Wine prefix than what has been set as the default, the WINEPREFIX environment variable can be used:

WINEPREFIX="/path/to/prefix" winetricks [options] [command|verb|path-to-verb] ...
