With actual winetricks, when installing a dll in a custom wine prefix by using WINEPREFIX=<custom-wine-prefix> /usr/bin/winetricks ole32, I got a message box

regedit: The file C:\Windows\Temp\override-dll.regnot found

and in the command line i see

Using native,builtin override for following DLLs: ole32
++ WINEPREFIX=/home/<user>/.wine64
++ /usr/bin/wine64 'C:\windows\regedit.exe' 'C:\windows\Temp\override-dll.reg'

which means that the specified wine prefix has been ignored.

/usr/bin/winetricks --version
Executing cd /usr/bin

A subsequent analysis showed that this is not a problem of winetricks, but that a wrapper with the name wine64 was included in a local search path that specified the wine prefix.

Due to the error output

++ WINEPREFIX=/home/<user>/.wine64
++ /usr/bin/wine64 'C:\windows\regedit.exe' 'C:\windows\Temp\override-dll.reg'

was unfortunately not visible that an executable file with the name wine was actually called from a different path, which could perhaps be improved.

In the error or verbosity case this helps to see the actual wine
executable used.
