That works fine if your using real Wine... are you using real normal Wine, or are you using some 3rd party tool like Wine.app from WineBottler?  If oyu install normal Wine from source or use Macports to do it for you, this type of app will work fine... I wrote that script and tested it a lot  :-P

I'm guessing fro this your using WineBottler's Wine.app and not normal Wine... that one seemed like it worked for you, but the asp32.exe thing is having an error... or doesn't exist?  I dunno.. WineBottler (and its related Wine.app) are 3rd party programs not supported here.

yes that would, because by default the variable $PATH_TO_PROGRAM is nothing, so thats just like trying to run ".exe" with no file name.. and it errors... unless your setting that variable first, and its ASP as above and is having a problem.  This one will only work if you have Win installed with Macports though, as its looking in /opt/local where Macports resides.  That script will also mess up if the exe name has any spaces or reserved characters in it.

It basically comes down to ... how are you running your Wine?

if your using a 3rd party tool... such as Crossover, or Wineskin, or WineBottler, etc... there is no need to make such a shortcut, as the tools handle GUI stuff themselves for you... if your using normal Wine installed by source.. or Macports, the first script should work fine, but you may be getting it edited wrong... did you build WIne yourself, or use Macports?
