Wine configuration menu vanished

Post by felix92 »

(Wine 2.0.4 running on Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-Bit)

I have sucessfully installed Wine 2.0.4 on my Linux system. The next step was installation of some Windows pdf-software within Wine. So far, so good. The pdf software is working fine.

Unfortunately, all Wine configuration and systems commands are no longer present in the Wine menu:
1) Deinstall Wine Application
2) Search C:
3) Windows Editor (notepad)
4) Configure Wine

There are just links to the pdf software itself.

I'm quite sure that I didn't intentionally delete those entries. Anyway, they are gone. Is there a way to restore those entries in the Wine menu?

Thank you for help.

Sounds like you upgraded from a distro Wine package to a WineHQ package. As stated in https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu:
Menu items are not created for Wine's builtin programs (winecfg, etc.), and if you are upgrading from a distro package that had added them, they will be removed. You can recreate them yourself using your menu editor.
