Setup apps won't run

[JustaFloatingEye]

Latest linux mint (ubuntu based) with latest stable wine. If I download a setup.exe and run it, the setup works fine but trying the app through my super key menu will not make the app run.

Try starting the program from the command line.
This will allow you to see messages from Wine that may help troubleshoot problems.

First, you need to find out where the program is installed. Search the (hidden) .wine/drive_c directory in your home directory. Probably the program is in Program Files (x86), Program Files or users/<username>/AppData. Once you have found it, you can try running it with Wine:

Code: Select all

# Go to the found directory:
# (you can use the [Tab] key to automatically complete the directory names)
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/path/to/program

# Run the program:
# (replace "program.exe" with the real name of the program)
wine program.exe
