Bug #: 29053 Summary: Program installs but Wine Menu shortcuts fail Product: Wine Version: 1.3.15 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: loader AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: djrpublic@cfl.rr.com Classification: Unclassified
When I install programs, specifically Ancestral Quest 12.1, PAF 5.2.18.0 or Kindle Reader for PC, the program installs just fine BUT the Wine Menu links fail, usually with a "file not found" error window. However, the desktop shortcuts that the programs themselves install work just fine. In other words this would be a severe problem IF the program didn't install its own shortcut.
I've tried this with Linux Mint 11 in both 32 and 64 bit installs and with a latest version (in Sept) beta as well as 2 different versions from Mint's repository. Currently I'm running 1.3.15.
PAF 5 desktop link: env WINEPREFIX="/home/david/.wine" wine C:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix /home/david/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/PAF\ 5.lnk
Wine menu link: env WINEPREFIX="/home/david/.wine" wine C:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix /home/david/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\ Menu/Programs/FamilySearch/PAF\ 5.lnk
Kindle desktop link: env WINEPREFIX="/home/david/.wine" wine C:\Program\ Files\Amazon\Kindle\Kindle.exe
Wine menu link: env WINEPREFIX="/home/david/.wine" wine C:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix /home/david/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/david/Start\ Menu/Programs/Amazon/Amazon\ Kindle/Kindle.lnk
As far as I can tell the paths and links do exist.
