Then follow the wizards each time. The console will display a lot of debugging info each time, but it supposed to.
Although the initial bit with winetricks requires a final /, this part won't work with it. Ubuntu 12.04 Wine1.3. Except when I did it again, and it required them

Getting Wine1.3 to install is a BEAST. It wants to update to 1.4 because it can't find libesd0. Find DCOM98.EXE on the web and put it in your gca founder and let Wine run it in Win98 mode. This supplies you with oleaut32 or whatever. I just copied all of system32 and put in in my GURPS Character Assistant folder (which is not the GCA folder). Also, installing in the GCA dir utterly failed for me - it's in .wine (that's hidden wine) in home.
