I have an MS Windows application which needs new version of Wine. I have installed it locally to home-folder using PlayOnLinux.

I'm stuck with creating simple bash/dash/sh script to launch .exe application inside its folder. I tried standard pushd/popd, cd && exec, (cd && exec) approach but it failed.

What I need:

• Desktop-file as launcher for a script

  
  



• A script which:

  
  
  
  
  1. changes directory to .exe application's directory
  
  
  2. executes wine .exe inside application directory
  
  
  
  

Currently I'm happy with the following Python-code for wrapper script (to be placed in /usr/local/bin/wine32-wrapper):

#!/usr/bin/python3

import os

import sys

import subprocess



if len(sys.argv) >= 2:

    path = sys.argv[1]

    wd = os.path.dirname(path)

    exec_path = ["/home/{}/.PlayOnLinux/wine/linux-x86/6.15/bin/wine".format(os.getenv('USER'), path), "{}".format(path)]

    p = subprocess.run(exec_path, cwd=wd)

else:

    print("

Usage {} with one argument - full file path.".format(sys.argv[0]));

and .desktop-file (to be placed in ~/.local/share/applications/wine32.desktop), for it:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]

Version=1.0

Type=Application

Terminal=false

Icon=mate-panel-launcher

Exec=wine32-wrapper %f

Name=Local Wine32-6.15

then I associate my exe-files with this wine script using Caja.

Is it possible to replace above python script with bash/dash/sh script with exactly same functionality?
