Bug ID: 53161
           Summary: winemenubuilder not found/unable to execute on 64-bit
                    bottles
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.0
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

When I try to run the shipped Wine application called 'winemenubuilder' using a
64-bit wine bottle.

I execute: wine winemenubuilder

The result is:

Application could not be started, or no application associated with the
specifie
d file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

However, when I try to execute the exact command on a 32-bit bottle (meaning
I'm using the WINEARCH=win32 environment variable during the bottle creation).
I'm actually able to execute the winemenubuilder command without error message.

Other programs like winecfg do just work fine with the 64-bit bottle. As far as
I know it's only happening now with winemenubuilder.

So winemenubuilder.exe is indeed not located in the syswow64 folder. But only
in system32.

I believe winemenubuilder.exe is 64-bit only on purpose. There's no need to
have both a 32-bit and 64-bit version because it's an internal utility.

You should start it like this:

$ wine64 winemenubuilder
