Program links result in error

[benstyr]

I recently installed Rosetta Stone Version 3.2 with wine 1.1.31. Initially there was an error on the opening page of Rosetta Stone, however after downloading and installing the suggested package from winetricks that error goes away.

Now when I navigate through the file system and right click on RosettaStoneVersion3.exe and select open with wine... everything works fine. The same when I navigate through the file system in the terminal and type wine RosettaStoneVersion3.exe.

However, when I click the link in the start menu or try to create a desktop launcher to the .exe file I get the same error that I did before I installed Rosetta. I even tried writing an executable script that would open it using wine, but same error.

If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

I found the solution for this on another forum.

I created a executable script in the Rosetta Stone folder with the following code:

[#!/bin/bash
cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Rosetta\ Stone/Rosetta\ Stone\ V3
wine RosettaStoneVersion3.exe]

Then I created launchers that linked to this script so that it wont ask me if it wants to run or display every time I launch. Google image search for Rosetta stone icon .png and everything is pretty.[/code]

wine RosettaStoneVersion3.exe]

To make this work with a link you need to specify correct work directory (the directory with the executable). Alternatively you can use 'wine start /path/program.exe'), which should work in your case.
