Hi Austin,
sorry for delaying my answer.
Winetricks was telling me very prominently:
"You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. If you encounter problems, please
retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug."
And in the source:
# Winetricks is a package manager for win32 dlls and applications on posix.
-> These two give the impression that winetricks is not (very good) for
win64. Besides that I only experienced the .Net issue.
Previously I had thought that you can install any 32-bit app in a 64-bit
WoW64 prefix. Since this isn't true generally, of course winetricks
can't do better.
However I still wonder: is it possible to install e.g. 32-bit
.Net to be used by 32-bit apps in a 64-bit prefix?

I'm not sure ;) If it's not an obvious technical misunderstanding on my
side I might ask above question there.
