Hi, PlayOnLinux added an option in the right click menu for opening my Office 2007 extensions. When I select the option, for example "Open with Microsoft Powerpoint", i get an error saying "File not found"

If i Right Click the .ppt file for instance and select "Properties" and hit the "Open With" tab, i can add another application with the following command:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/mark/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Office2007" wine "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\WINWORD.EXE"

but this option is then named "env" and is placed in the "Open with" menu. So what i would like to do is set it for the "Open with Microsoft Powerpoint" right click option.

So in short, my question is where can I correct this command so that the "Open with Microsoft Powerpoint/Word/Excel" actually work from the right click menu?

I've only been on Linux for two weeks. Much too learn. I'd appreciate your help. Thanks.

Sorry, i just read the "how to post questions" guide.

Hi deutschmarx,
you can point Microsoft Office Word 2007, which is in ~/.PlayOnLinux/configurations/installed directory, in Open With tab and then you'll have got Open With Microsoft Office Word 2007 or whatever you name the script. This script already contains

env WINEPREFIX="/home/mark/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Office2007" wine "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\WINWORD.EXE"

Hi,
You can also also use this line :
playonlinux --run "MSWord 2007"

right click -> open with -> playonlinux --run "MSWord 2007"

With "MSWord 2007" the name of the shortcut in PlayOnLinux.

NSLW, I asked that before in another thread, but don't know it was the right place.

Why are not the "open with" configurations based on ' ~/.PlayOnLinux/configurations/installed' script created by default instead of a lot of wrong lauchers? Is there any problem with it?
