Netflix-desktop no longer works after update

So a while ago I installed netflix-desktop on my ubuntu 12.10 installation. I am also a subscriber to redbox instant. I attempted to install redbox-desktop which is from the same ppa as the netflix-desktop.

Here is the link to the story about this

The only problem is that when I attempted to install it it updated netflix-desktop in the process. Now when I click on netflix-desktop I wait and nothing happens. Redbox-desktop no longer works either. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result. Please help I need me my Doctor Who!

EDIT: I also noticed that when I reinstalled netflix the silverlight and mozilla firefox (the one ran through wine) have disappeared. I am not sure if that is relevant

The new version of Netflix Desktop moves the profile location from ~/.netflix-desktop to ~/.wine-browser. You might try renaming/deleting the ~/.wine-browser folder and relaunching netflix-desktop (or redbox-desktop) so that it creates a new profile.
