When “Microsoft Office Word 2007” is launched from MintMenu it gives the following error “File not found”.

Test Machine
OS - Linux mint 9 gnome
mintmenu v4.9.9

===================
Temporary SOLUTION - works with mintmenu
===================
Menu Entry for “Microsoft Office Word 2007” and “command” =
env WINEPREFIX="/home/nikhil/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/nikhil/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/nikhil/Start\ Menu/Programs/Microsoft\ Office/Microsoft\ Office\ Word\ 2007.lnk

It seems that above command is correct but mintmenu fails to make it work.
Therefore, it fails to launch from MintMenu but works from Terminal.

Definitely this is bug in MintMenu and Bug #618044 is "Fix Released" but doesn't solve the issue.

Now change the above menu entry to
command =
env WINEPREFIX="/home/nikhil/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.exe"

Logout of the system – This step is mandatory. Menu entries won't reflect until logout.

Try to launch “Microsoft Office Word 2007” from mintmenu, it should work.

For EXCEL
env WINEPREFIX="/home/nikhil/.wine" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/nikhil/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/preeti/Start\ Menu/Programs/Microsoft\ Office/Microsoft\ Office\ Excel\ 2007.lnk

env WINEPREFIX="/home/nikhil/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.exe"
