--- Comment #2 from Konstantin Kharlamov hi-angel@yandex.ru --- (In reply to Ken Sharp from comment #1)
winemenubuilder is looking for a filename. --help is not a filename.
File not found.
As an enhancement, maybe, it could check the command line for (invalid) options, but using it incorrectly is not a bug in the software.
Please show the output when an actual filename is passed (and exists).
Sure:
λ touch 1 λ wine winemenubuilder ./1 […fixmes here…] Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file. ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.
As I mentioned in the 1st post, really anything you pass to winemenubuilder results in these errors, so I don't think it even tries to start `winemenubuilder` — the error really looks like wine isn't finding the app.
