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). -- Regards, John
