Bug Description
I am using the RC 64 bit version. I have attempted to install MS Office 2003 and 2007 using Wine. The applications install but the menuitems on mintmenu do not work. When you attempt to launch an applicaiton you get an error message in a small dialog box, "File not found". If you copy the property of the menu item and place it into a desktop launcher, the applicaiton will execute properly. I have only noted this behavior so far for MS Office. Other Windows apps install correctly on the mintmenu. Here is one such example from MS Office that fails:
env WINEPREFIX=
This above string will work correctly when placed in a desktop launcher, yet fails when run off of the installed mintmenu menu item listed under wine.
Both versions of Windows office deploy properly on Ubuntu version 10 menu system. This bug can be easily and regularly reproduced.
