This link comes from this PR: winetricks/#1330: riched30: Fix URL using webarchive

Either link should work.

Is this dependency compatible with Wine?

  • [x] Yes
  • [ ] Yes, but need tweaks
  • [ ] No
  • [ ] I have not tested

Useful links

  1. The load_riched30() function from winetricks mentioned above should help a lot theoretically I guess?
  2. We already have riched20 in our dependency repo, they are pretty similar aside from the version number, so the installation instruments should also be similar.

I will try to give it a shot and hopefully file a PR for it.
