I have a game (only one :) ) that runs in win. I find I can use thunar
or nautilus to tunnel down to the executable and right click, choose
"open with wine", game runs fine.
This is tedious. So, using my superior knowledge of scripting, I
thought I would just make a quick bash script and execute it:
------------------------------------------
#bin/bash!
wine /home/damon/C_drive/'Program Files'/'Stardock Games'/'Sins of a
Solar Empire'/'Sins of a Solar Empire.exe'
------------------------------------------
As you can see, it is simply genius the way I used ALL of my bash
scripting knowledge.
Of course, I chmoded it.
When I execute it I get:

and the program does a dump then exits.
I have tried to do a symlink from the win partition /windows/system32 to
/home/damon/C_drive/windows/system32 but I get the same result.
Again, if I use a GUI file manager and tunnel down (wines working dir is
~/C_drive/Program Files, which is nothing but a symlink to the real
win/Program Files) and select "open with wine" it works, if I use a term
and cd into the games dir and type " wine Sins\ of\ a\ Solar\ Empire.exe
" it works.
What am I missing to make it work with a simple script to avoid all the
typing or the tunneling via a GUI?
