Well, i'm starting all my apps with this command when working from the console :<br>
<br>
$ wine $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/WordView/WORDVIEW.EXE <br>
<br>
So far I didnt' had any problem<br>
It's true that in some script I also use something like<br>
<br>
$ wine "c:\\Program Files\\WordView\\WORDVIEW.EXE" "/tmp/tempdoc.doc"<br>
<br>

<br>><br>> Phil<br>><br> Phil, the quotation marks are necessary because the path contains a<br> space (C:\Program Files), and Linux considers a space the end of the<br> command unless it is either escaped (C:\\Program\ Files; the extra "\"
<br> being an escape character to tell a Linux application --which Wine<br> is--that the character following the \ should be considered part of the<br> command. This is why the first forward slash is escaped as well as the
<br>space, so that Linux can recognize it, otherwise Wine would read the<br>path as C:Program Files), or enclosed in quotes (single or<br>double), which tell a Linux application to use the quoted command or<br>path 'as is'.
