You can test ShellExecuteEx from the commandline using start, and it 
seems to work there;

$ WINEDEBUG=+exec wine start hello.html
trace:exec:ShellExecuteExA 0x33fe9c
trace:exec:SHELL_execute mask=0x00000500 hwnd=(nil) verb=L"open" 
file=L"hello.html" parm=L"" dir=(null) show=0x00000001 class=not used
...

Launches Firefox for me on hello.html fine with wine-0.9.29 and 
Ubuntu.
Can you post the output of running your app with WINEDEBUG=+exec set?
Also, what version of Wine and Linux is this, and what's your app?
