Strange behaviour of start menu entry

Post by elektronaut »

Hi,

I installed a program which also adds a start menu entry for viewing a HTMLHelp file. But there is some error, the HTMLHelp viewer within Wine is launched, the content pane to the left is displayed, but no text appears to the right.
So I wanted to use kchmviewer instead. I manually edited the call in the start menu entry to use kchmviewer instead. I tested this call on the command line, it works. But when I click on it, the original Wine HTMLHelp viewer is started again!?

Here's the original call:

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX="/home/elektronaut/.wine" wine "C:\windows\command\start.exe" "C:\Programme\Akademische Arbeitsgemeinschaft\Steuerprogramm\2009\TaxBook.chm"
Here's the new call:

Code: Select all

kchmviewer "/home/elektronaut/.wine/drive_c/Programme/Akademische Arbeitsgemeinschaft/Steuerprogramm/2009/TaxBook.chm"
Strange!
