Not able to create shortcut to wine application

[ffi]

I´m trying to make a shortcut (both on the desktop and in one in k menu) to a wine application but it won´t launch, it launches when I directly click the .exe

 

I´ve tried the command directly and with wine before it, eg:

 

home/ffi/wine/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Opera 9 Beta/Opera.exe

wine home/ffi/wine/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Opera 9 Beta/Opera.exe

 

I´ve checked and my wine server is running.

There's native builds of opera for linux!

 

http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/

 

however,

wine home/ffi/wine/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Opera 9 Beta/Opera.exe

would need a / in front of home

wine /home/ffi/wine/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Opera 9 Beta/Opera.exe

 

Also ensure the process 'wineserver' is NOT running before you run anythin in wine, as this often indicates a past crashed wine session or a currently running one.

I´m sorry I forgot to copy the / ,it was in the shortcut however. I stopped the wine server and it still won´t run.

 

(native linux builds for opera suck big time btw!)

You might be better with:

 

wine "c:\program files\opera 9 beta\opera.exe"

 

Don't forget to close the line in quotes like I have above, but with wine outside of the quotes. This is how I normally run apps.

thanks, that did the trick :)
