No Wine Program Loader in open with menu, Ubuntu 16.10

You might have "lost" the symlink to the main Wine .desktop file (as the main install location: /opt/.../applications/; will not be in your xdg path):

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /opt/wine-devel/share/applications/wine.desktop /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop
# OR for Wine-Staging...
sudo ln -s /opt/wine-staging/share/applications/wine.desktop /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop

Should fix that...
