Post‐Install Scripts

Most people won't need this.

If for some reason you're doing repeated installs of the same title (e.g. if you're doing a regression test), you can have Winetricks use a postinstall script to automatically execute a few commands after a game is installed.

Postinstall scripts live in the directory $WINETRICKS_POST, which defaults to $HOME/.local/share/winetricks/postinstall.

After winetricks installs title xyz, it sources the file named $WINETRICKS_POST/xyz/xyz-postinstall.sh (if it exists).

That script can refer to winetricks Variables and Functions like $WINETRICKS_POST, $W_PROGRAMS_X86_UNIX, w_ahk_do, etc.

Example: in Zoo Tycoon 2, you might want to have the postinstall script transcode the .wma files into .mp3 so the game can play them without having to install Windows Media.
