Desktop file needed for an exe file that needs no installation

Post by ineuw »

How do I create a launcher for "BabelMap.exe", which is a self loading windows file without installation. It opens when clicked directly with Wine program launcher, but I need a .desktop launcher.

Something like:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=BabelMap
Comment=BabelMap a free character map application
Exec=env wine start /unix "/home/ineuw/Downloads/BabelMap.exe"
Icon=wine
Terminal=false
