Hi all, I just got Slackware 11, and have a couple issues with link
creation. I cant say that this worked with 10.2 either though, as I havent had a Linux machine in about a year, since the motherboard died on my last one..
The first issue is that regardless of which kernel I use, the Desktop link
doesn't have the WinRAR icon, just the default blank paper KDE icon, and the menu entries have no icons at all.
Second, with 2.4 the icon is created and put on my desktop, but with 2.6
it is created and put where I have Drive C pointed to in winecfg.
Third, with 2.4 the menu entries are put in the menu under the wine
folder, but with 2.6 they are put under the installdir of the app.
I am using 0.9.32, as I cannot download the git version due to the
corporate firewall, and transparent web proxy..
If needed I can create a bug for this issue, and as soon as I get a free
minute I will reinstall and get the debug messages.
Update: seems that the relocation of the icon to the desktop is working, I just needed to use winecfg to point to the location of the Desktop, however after removing WinRAR, and the WinRAR shortcut directory from the root of the "C Drive" and reinstalling, the menu entries folder is still located in /d/Program\ Files/WinRAR

I'm using Slackware 11 here and Winrar put the desktop icon in the correct location, that is, ~/Desktop. It sounds like you had some configuration problems? Can you start with a fresh .wine directory and try again?
If you are confident this is not due to a configuration issue, please file a bug. Also, this discussion is probably more appropriate for the wine-users mailing list.

My update says that the icon is on the desktop. However the other issues still remain (the icon not being a WinRAR icon, and the menu not being put in my KDE menu, but instead under C:\Program\ Files\WinRAR
This is a fresh .wine directory, as this is a fresh install of Slackware 11, not an upgrade, so I know it isn't a config issue.
This is definitely a bug.. wineshelllink is failing to fork and exec, or so I gathered from a message right before the installer quit that said something to that effect. I will attach the full output in just a sec.

It looks like the icon bug has already been reported: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7084
On my machine, wine puts WinRar.desktop in ~/.local/shared/applications/wine/Programs/WinRar, which then appears in my KDE menu. Are you saying the .desktop files went into ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/WinRar instead?
