Help needed with navigation

I am new to Wine and I am new to Ubuntu 11.10. I am unable to find the following menu:

Wine -> All Programs

[PhaseMaster]

I am trying to activate some software in Wine. The instructions say to do this from the Windows Start menu. The instructions I have for finding this menu don't work in Ubuntu 11.10.

1. Start menu - "All Programs" - "Voxengo"

2. Click on "Register Voxengo YYYY (name of plugin)" located in that
product's shortcut group.

3. Enter that plugin's product key with your audio application CLOSED.

I hope this example helps clarify my question.

The instructions say to do this from the Windows Start menu.

If you successfully installed that program the actual executable should be under "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files" (that's for English Wine version). Other languages have "Program Files" "translated".

I had to modify your code as shown below. However, I'm not trying to reach the main executable.

Code: Select all

$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files

Here is the path to what I'm trying to reach:

Code: Select all

Home/wine/drive_c/users/ben/Start Menu/Programs/Voxengo/Voxengo Soniformer/Register Soniformer.lnk

Here is the last command I tried:

Code: Select all

ben@ben-Dell-XPS420:~$ wine /home/ben/wine/drive_c/users/ben/Start\ Menu/Programs/Voxengo/Voxengo\ Soniformer\ VST/Register\ Soniformer.lnk
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\plugplay.exe"
wine: Bad EXE format for C:\users\ben\Start Menu\Programs\Voxengo\Voxengo Soniformer VST\Register Soniformer.lnk

Thank you to everybody who replied. The problem turned out to be the permissions for my .LNK file. Once I marked it as executable, everything worked the way I expected it to work.
