Wine right click open is different to terminal “wine appname

[Sman789]

I have an application (Star Trek Bridge Commander) which runs fine on Wine when I navigate to its directory and 'open with -> Wine Windows Program Loader' from the right click menu. Unfortunately, it quits with a runtime error if I try to use 'wine (path)' or 'wine start (path)' in the terminal. This is a problem because I am trying to make a custom shortcut (.desktop file) to open it. I'm guessing that the "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader" option runs a slightly different command than 'wine' or 'wine start' - if I'm right then could someone please explain what command this is?

Thankyou for any assistance

When you tried running it from a terminal did you cd to the program directory first? Some apps will not run unless you do that.

You know, I actually was sure I'd tried that. But it seems to work now so obviously I hadn't - thanks a lot!

Oh - and is there a way I can incorporate this all into a single command; so I can launch the program from a .desktop file?
