Launchers added to menu in Linux Mint do not work

Post by fargodwe »

I use seperate prefixes for each thing I install in Wine. There is an entry placed in the menu (in my case under "other") as a launcher for each. None of these launchers ever work - they all say "file not found". All these programs run fine if I set up a desktop launcher on my own.

This what is in the properties for the menu launcher for a program that does not work:

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX="/home/me/WINE-PREFIXES/LEGACYFT" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/me/WINE-PREFIXES/LEGACYFT/dosdevices/c:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start\ Menu/Programs/Legacy\ 7.5/Legacy\ 7.5.lnk
I'm sure I'm doing something dumb but alas don't know what.

Any help is appreciated.

That's a known bug in Mint's menu. https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27706
