The same here.

Maybe not for all the InstallShield versions: it worked for me for the game
"I-War" (quite old... DirectX 5 I think), with KDE 2.1
Or it could be that the installer crash doesn't help in getting the icon
loaded... :-)
I didn't had time to look into this feature.

It's called 'wineshelllink', under wine/tools.  You have to add
an entry
[wine]
"ShellLinker" = "/path/to/wineshelllinnk/wineshelllink"

to make it work.

It could probably use some testing and verification on KDE 2.2
(you can test it standalone very easily).

Someday when you want to test a decibel meter, ask me how I feel about 
the changes in menu files between KDE 1.x, 2.0, 2.2, Gnome 1.2, Gnome 
1.4, and then ask me how I *reallY* feel about the Mandrake menu system <g>.

Actually Caldera and SuSE started an effort to unify the menu system handling
like half a year ago, possibly across the LSB side.

I am afraid the effort sickered into the sands of the time. :/
