I had to replace that linux with windows 8 on my only test box.  this happens
with any of my NSIS installer-based applications which create shortcuts, on
Linux Mint 10.  
I don't know what version of WINE that is, or how to tell.
since you are probably running the latest, I would be curious to know if the
problem is fixed.
the applications you can run are at 
http://sf.net/projects/phone-ltd
http://sf.net/projects/getversionex
http://sf.net/projects/simplesysinfo

these are gui apps, some of them like getversionex and simplesysinfo call a
back-end commandline app to run.  any of the above will create shortcuts.  NSIS
also always automatically creates an Uninstall.lnk shortcut.  .lnk files are
windows shortcuts.  so are .url files, those are internet shortcuts, usually in
the form of an ini file renamed as a .url file usually with just 1 entry, and
browsers make those, but installers can to using WriteINI().

I have a bunch more.  I am curious if console applications (commandline
.exe+dll apps) compiled with mingw-w64 can run on WINE as well and still be
visible and be interactive.  I don't see a command shell.  wonder if it runs on
an xterm or what...

I would like to use a distribution which does not hamper WINE, but I don't know
what that would be.
