Where is this menu link that you mention? I see none in the KDE menu, is this the menu that you mean?
I'm using wine 20050111 with SuSE 9.2, and I was surprised as well when I installed Planescape: Torment and suddenly I had a Wine folder in the KDE menu, with a link to the program, with an icon, even (!!!).
I have to assume this is a new functionality of Wine, or possibly a "special" quality related to SuSE (which loves KDE a great deal, and integrates a lot of 'internal functions' with it). If a new function of Wine, then perhaps an upgrade will enable it; if specific to the SuSE package, then I'm just lucky :-) .
In any case, the fact that this lovely link exists yet does not work for me (I had to write a little shell script that cds to the program directory, then runs the main executable with wine, otherwise the program gives an error and will not start) is of no use to you if your program will not start nor give output even when started directly from within the program's install folder.
However, the fact that it isn't working could be due to a couple of factors:
1) How are you stopping the process when the program fails to start? Is there possibly a wineserver still running from a previous failed attempt? Please check a process monitor such as KDE System Guard and kill any wineservers or leftover running Wine processes before trying again to run the program from its install directory.
2) The fact that no output whatsoever is being produced is suspicious, insofar as it suggests that the program is not crashing (in which case there would be output of some sort), but stuck somewhere along the way to running.
Does this program need to contact some external device such as a scanner or camera before starting?
You are running these commands from a terminal, correct?
HTH, Holly

Silly me, I even tried to click the icon in Konqueror to start the program (I can start IE6 this way).
I just installed wine (with apt, version 20041201) and winetools within the last few hours, and between what I've see on this list the past few weeks (I subscribed in December) and google, well, I know nothing! I'm on Fedora Core 3 in KDE on a AMD Duron 1 ghz machine with 512mb ram and a noisy fan.
Thank you in advance!
Dotan CohenSome programs don't like to run via a full path; what happens if you cd to the Brilliant Photo directory first, then run
wine BrilliantPhoto.exe
?
I have a couple of apps that run fine when the app is run from within the program directory, but fail to run otherwise (even from the program menu link created by Wine during the program's install).
HTH, Holly
