I am the developer of Dolmades - a solution to package particular windows applications into wine containers.
My goal is to automate custom setups as much as possible.
Win installers commonly create .lnk files which pretty much describe everything needed to know to properly run their targets.
I've read somewhere that wine could execute lnk files natively but it never worked for me (I've just tried wine 3).
So far I've found a couple of external tools which can deal with .lnk files:
- https://code.google.com/archive/p/lnk-parser/
- http://www.mamachine.org/mslink/index.en.html
- https://github.com/lcorbasson/lnk-parse
Is there a native wine tool for creating lnk files and dumping their meta data?
Could someone please report their experiences on how they do this?
Best regards Stefan
