Not a problem here.

Where did you put the Winetricks file (downloads I presume and this is
the assumption I'm using here)
1.  Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
2.  cd Downloads
3. chmod +x winetricks
4.  winetricks --help (or if you know the name of the module you want
to install winetricks <name of module>

This will run the help menu or install the module to the default $HOME/.wine
