Good.  Hopefully, the 'decision' will be made soon by Dan and Austin as to the direction winetricks will move in.  It is good that you have a gui interface for winetricks.

Now, back to the OPs original problem:  Winetricks is released about every two weeks.  Try the lastest version and if the error still occurs then Dan, Austin or one of the winetricks maintainers will have to look into why the sha1sum is failing.  Microsoft and other providers are subject to changing file structures at any time.  This is not directly a failure of winetricks.
