I have Power Prep II working well Wine in Ubuntu 14.04 (Unity). I simply navigate to the directory of the launch.bat file and type wine start launch.bat —voila, everything works excellently. (In fact, I can hardly say "I've got" because I did no actual work.)

The issue is, when I move up one directory and type something like wine start "POWER PREP II/launch.bat", I get an error:

fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0
fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW ((null),L"FoxitCloudUpdateService"): stub
fixme:advapi:ReportEventW (0xcafe4242,0x0004,0x0000,0x00000000,(nil),0x0002,0x00000000,0x74e958,(nil)): stub
fixme:advapi:DeregisterEventSource (0xcafe4242) stub
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100

This came about because I'm trying to create a .desktop icon on my sidebar.

Do you have any suggestions?

I would run it like this, assuming the POWER PREP II folder is in Program Files:

wine start /d "C:\\Program Files\\POWER PREP II" launch.bat

This would first set the current folder to C:\Program Files\POWER PREP II followed by executing the launch.bat file.

There is an excellent example in How to install and configure Wine?
