Launcher problem [SOLVED]

[gibbs1984]

Hi,

I created a launcher on my desktop to a WINE game and the launcher works perfectly from the desktop and the panel but putting the exact same criteria into the mintMenu via the Edit menu option the launcher doesn't work.

The command I put in my launcher is:

Code: Select all

wine "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\fm.exe" -fullscreen

Adding a new item to the Edit menu and putting this command in doesn't work when using the mintMenu.

Any help appreciated,

Steve

try using wine's full path, you can find it like this:

Code: Select all

which wine

so the new command would be something like this:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/wine "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\fm.exe" -fullscreen

Thanks for the reply Leppie,

I tried that but it didn't even launch a process in the System Monitor and nothing happened

i completely overlooked this the first time, but what location is "fm.exe" in?
you will have to use the linux path, not the windows path...

Hi Leppie,

It seems to be in:

Code: Select all

/home/steve/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2010/fm.exe

Not sure why it's in dosdevices rather than drive_c?

Anyway, would I use the command:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/wine "/home/steve/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2010/fm.exe" -fullscreen

EDIT: Just tried it and now that works, thanks very much for your help Leppie, much appreciated

Steve
