I still don't understand  :( When I open the winetricks app it says at the top of the window "Winetricks - choose a wine prefix" but there is no way of adding to .wine_myapp  :? 

As an example: I have a software called MoI. The .exe is in my downloads folder. I would like to install this not in the .wine folder but in the .wine_MoI folder. How do I do this?

Another software I have is called Alibre. Its .exe is also in my dowmloads folder. This I would like to install to .wine_alibre but it also needs J# redistributibles and directx9. How do I go about this?

Please help me through this. I much appreciate it.
