             Bug #: 29053
           Summary: Program installs but Wine Menu shortcuts fail
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.15
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: loader
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: djrpublic at cfl.rr.com
    Classification: Unclassified


When I install programs, specifically Ancestral Quest 12.1, PAF 5.2.18.0 or
Kindle Reader for PC, the program installs just fine BUT the Wine Menu links
fail, usually with a "file not found" error window.  However, the desktop
shortcuts that the programs themselves install work just fine.  In other words
this would be a severe problem IF the  program didn't install its own shortcut.

I've tried this with Linux Mint 11 in both 32 and 64 bit installs and with a
latest version (in Sept) beta as well as 2 different versions from Mint's
repository.  Currently I'm running 1.3.15.

PAF 5 desktop link:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/david/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix
/home/david/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/PAF\ 5.lnk

Wine menu link:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/david/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix
/home/david/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\
Menu/Programs/FamilySearch/PAF\ 5.lnk

Kindle desktop link:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/david/.wine" wine C:\\Program\
Files\\Amazon\\Kindle\\Kindle.exe 

Wine menu link:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/david/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix
/home/david/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/david/Start\ Menu/Programs/Amazon/Amazon\
Kindle/Kindle.lnk

As far as I can tell the paths and links do exist.
