So confusing on how to correctly have a new desktop launcher, how its thumb rules
On shell just works
Code: Select all
$ cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/shamela4
$ wine launcher.exe
but how come on desktop launcher
..
...
Command: wine $HOME/.wine/drive_c/shamela4/launcher.exe
Working dir.: $HOME/.wine/drive_c/shamela4

And, maybe on a new post, how to have its icon which Windws sometime put in package, sometime embedded in the .exe to be shown on desktop

How dumb I'm
it cannot be shell var., so itd be:
Command: wine /home/abdu/.wine/drive_c/shamela4/launcher.exe
Working dir.: /home/abdu/.wine/drive_c/shamela4
but still a bit issue it won;'t work unless selecting option: Run in Terminal

I don't know exactly what launcher you're trying to use, but a
.desktop file can look like this:
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Shamela
Comment=Shamela 4
Exec=/usr/bin/wine start /unix "/home/abdu/.wine/drive_c/shamela4/launcher.exe"
Icon=wine
Terminal=false
