Winetricks fails to install Spotify on 64 bit linux

Post date: 26-May-2013 09:26:11

I wanted to run Spotify on my 64 bit Linux machine but the installer was failing due to internet explorer woes.  I had a look on the internets and saw a long and complicated solution to this here https://gist.github.com/sandys/2958453.  Which involved a big manual installation.

So I did this on the terminal:

export WINEARCH=win32

winetricks --gui

Proceed with normal Spotify winetricks install...

I expect this will work for everyone who just wants to install ie on Linux 64 as well..
