WINE e-sword not showing download options
Good day, in e-sword running on WINE in Linux Mint 64 bit, I find e-sword partly works but when I open download and Bibles or maps... there is no list available. How can I fix this?
Run winecfg, switch to the Libraries tab, select oleaut32 in the New override for library dropdown list and press Add. Then select the new entry for oleauth32 in the list of Existing overrides, press Edit, choose Builtin from the list and confirm with OK.

"In winetricks install"
How is quote one done, is there a terminal command?
Winetricks does this use the software installer and it's searchbox?
Winetricks is a helper program, you should be able to install it from the Software Center and then start it from the menu. If not, just start it from the terminal. Usage should be self-explanatory.
I did the above, and in the process there was a file that could not be found, and when tested, e-sword did not find the Bibles downloads lists.
In the new edition of Mint, could this problem be fixed out of the box?
If a newer version of Mint features newer versions of Wine and Winetricks this might indeed be possible.
If you are not tied to specific features of e-sword you might want to try alternatives to it that have a native Linux version, like Bibletime.
