Not able to run app using Wine

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm using Wine 1.6.1 installed using the Ubuntu Wine Team's ppa under Ubuntu Precise. I have a Desktop Configuration File (named Basic4android.desktop) created by Wine when I installed the Basic4android windows app.

The file is in directory /home/john/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Basic4android/.

Contents of the file are:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Basic4android
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/john/.wine" wine C:\\\\windows\\\\command\\\\start.exe /Unix /home/john/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\\ Menu/Programs/Basic4android/Basic4android.lnk
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/home/john/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Basic4android
Icon=05D9_Basic4android.0

/home/john/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start Menu/Programs/Basic4android/Basic4android.lnk (written using standard Unix notation) exists. I don't know how to determine where it points to. However, the file (basic4android.exe) that it should point to is in directory /home/john/.wine/c:/dosdevices/c:/Basic4android/ and I can run it successfully by double clicking it in the Nautilus File Manager.

When I try to run the app (by using the launcher in Unity (corresponding to the Desktop Configuration File detailed above), I get a small window showing 'File Missing' with no useful options, but it doesn't detail which file that is missing. Help please!

PS I get the same problem with other windows apps (e.g. Windows version of Android SDK).
