--- Comment #9 from Adam Bolte abolte@systemsaviour.com --- I'm running 1.7.42 in a clean 32-bit prefix on Debian Wheezy amd64 with Xfce 4.8. I can confirm that the .desktop files are created correctly under "${HOME}/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Raven Software/Soldier of Fortune II - Double Helix GOLD".
I do not know if Gnome has an incompatibility with these files since I no longer run GNOME (I assume the report was against GNOME 2 which didn't ship with Wheezy), but they do work fine under Xfce (I just tested the "./Soldier of Fortune II - Double Helix GOLD - Help/Readme.desktop" menu shortcut).
Having said that, the I/O error message that everyone is reporting at the end of installation still occurs. The installation is fine AFAICT, but it does leave you with doubt.
