[Wine] How do you update winetricks?

I delete the winetricks script from a scripts folder (which is in my
PATH) in my home directory and use wget to grab the new version.

> I am trying to play Rift. I just did a full install of openSUSE 11.4 (wanted to try something other than ubuntu). I added the WINE repo and installed it. I then installed Rift with the downloader with WINE instead of using my windows install. I used the winetricks that came with WINE and installed d3dx9 and vcrun2008.

I would uninstall the distro version from your package manager and
just download it into your home directory and use it from there..
