Confirming, although it seems to work sometimes, when you try to start it often
enough...

Hi could you retry? This starts fine for me in current wine-3.3. Don`t know if
the app got updated or if this is fixed

As you recommended I went clicked on winehq developemnt 3.3 but it downloaded
3.2?
Anyway, that version 3.2 worked fine and fixed the problem and installed
SPFLight, however my pre-installed Microsoft 2003 office msword did not work.
It just got the spinning cursor doing something but then just back to normal
desktop and did nothing, never visibly launching anything.
I did run a different pre-installed program that did work fine (prism Plus from
NCH software).

So what do I do?

Huh, no idea really. Does the console output reveal anything while starting
Office?

If you don't re-install all your apps coming from a different Wine program (for example  HQ vs Staging). "wrong wine directory name in old apps properties fails". You have to either re-install almost all window apps or, drop down Linux menu and for wine apps menu entries and say add to desktop. Then right cick the desktop icon, select properties and edit the directory name for wine. In my case from wine-staging to to wine-hq.

Unfortunately wine does NOT give you the error 'directory not found' which
it should. Instead it just ends. I had to add the wine apps in the menu to the
desktop because I do not how to get to the properties of an app entry in the
Linux Menu list. (I am using Linux Mint 18 cinnamon)
After the properties are edited to point to the proper wine directory the
desktop symbolic link icon will invoke your win app properely because it finds
the wine directory. But remember the entries in the Menu will still do NOT work
so you cannot add them to panel because these entries still have the wrong
path/directory associated with them for wine. If you have too many apps,
another sleazy but may be necessary thing you could do is to rename the wine-hq
directory to your old/other wine version name of, in my case was
'wine-staging'. Not cool but it will work especially if you have many win apps
and 
no longer have the original installation disks. So all is good for wine-hq
development 3.2.

Update. I found out why an old app I had installed worked without having to
rename. I am making an assumption that the Winw install as a symbolic link
named 'wine' that points to the proper current wine directory, because my old
app had the wine directory in its property simple called 'wine. Below is the
property of my old app that worked with out point directly to the wine-hq
directory. maybe somebody can make this the case for the future so not
directories ever have to be changed. Note My old app just had "wine" following
the .wine directory as the wine directory. It must be a link? Below is my old
apps command line in it's property entry;
env WINEPREFIX="/home/steve/.wine" wine C:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix
/home/steve/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\ Menu/Programs/Prism\ Video\
File\ Converter.lnk

So if I understand it correctly everything works again as expected?

And if the SPFLite program works, could you resolve this bug as ``FIXED``?

YES, fixed and for others information, the simple thing I did to overcome the
fact that all prior installed win apps pointed to wine-staging in the OPT
directory, I simply added a Symbolic link in the OPT directory pointing to  
wine-devel as;
sudo ln -s /opt/wine-devel wine-staging

The app runs fine for reporter of bug and for me so resolving fixed.

(It`s not clear to me if this was fixed in the app, or in wine so I just have
to guess it`s fixed in wine)
