Apps are missing the /wine/Programs sub-folders

Post by ineuw »

I am using wine-8.0.2 in Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.2 and repeated installations of the apps by wine fail to create the folder and the app launchers in /home/ineuw/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs . The software is properly installed because my custom .desktop launchers all work flawlessly, but they are listed in "Other" folder, and there is no "Wine" folder on the Cinnamon menu tree. Selecting the context menu 'Open with', opens the app, but not the object being pointed to.

This is my current wine installation script:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable
sudo apt update
Wine installed software is:

Ghostscript required for editing .djvu images in IrfanView.
Irfanview v4.62 64bit
Textpad 8.17 64bit
SpeQ Mathematics calculator 32bit
