I do something like:

$ ln -s '/home/deostroll/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe' /usr/bin/iexplore

I am expecting that at the shell I can just type the following and expect the Internet explorer browser window to show up:

$ pwd

<where ever>

$ iexplore

But instead I get the following error message:

wine: cannot find L"Z:usrbiniexplore."

What am I doing wrong?

That is because you need to create a script (a wrapper of sorts) to make WINE find the .exe correctly.

Here's an example:

An alternative method (if the link still causes issues) is to copy the iexplore.exe file /usr/bin and simply tell the script to point to it:

wine iexplore.exe

A third option would be to point the script directly to the file:

wine /path/to/iexplore.exe
