Cannot get a command to work from a desktop icon

[alansecker]

From the virtual Windows cmd console, this command works, but

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\excel.exe

From Linux konsole, this does not:

# wine "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\Excel.exe"

Can someone tell me why?

TIA

# wine "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\Excel.exe"

You shouldn't be running Wine as root.
